What Is Off Book?
Sometimes the best way to make theater is to stop worrying about the whole show.
Off Book is a brand-new YPT cabaret experience designed to give young performers the freedom to explore songs, scenes, choreography, and characters that we couldn’t necessarily include in a traditional production.
Instead of one story with a fixed cast of characters, Off Book will bring together a group of young performers to create a collection of musical moments. Some performers may take the spotlight on their own. Others may share a duet, sing individual lines within a larger number, or be part of the chorus. Some numbers will also feature choreography.
The result will be a show built around the strengths, personalities, and creativity of the performers who join us.
Because this is our first Off Book, we’re intentionally leaving some things open.
What we do know is that we’re looking for performers who are excited to try something new, collaborate with others, and step outside the usual boundaries of a traditional production.
