Centenary Stage Company’s Young Performers Workshop is now accepting registration for the 15-week 2025 Fall Workshop running September 13 through December 21. No experience is necessary, and all new applicants must complete an interview with the program director. The registration and tuition deadline are September 11.
Led by Broadway, film, and television veteran Michael Blevins, the YPW Summer Intensive Workshop is a 5-week musical theatre workshop designed to meet the needs of beginning, intermediate, and advanced performers ages 8-18 interested in working in the theatre.
With an emphasis on discipline, self-worth and the development of communication skills, this hands-on program is one of the few in the nation to utilize both formal classroom training in theatre arts and real-world practical production experience for young people.
In the classroom, YPW students participate in a wide variety of subjects ranging from acting, tap, theatre dance, voice, and everything in between. A variety of elective classes are offered based upon availability and can include stage combat, stage make-up, improv, radio production, stage management / technical theatre, audition technique, among various other areas of discipline all taught by industry professionals.
The session culminates in a festival of shows featuring the presentation of full-scale musical productions. All registered students are guaranteed a part in at least one production. Tuition is $425 for the first child and $395 for the second.
