Each semester, Young Performers will mount an original one-act production! Designed to train young students in theatrical elements such as projection, memorization, stage presence, and teamwork, the weekly workshop format is ideal for the busy family and the even busier child. Also, the training is invaluable for younger students looking to shine in principle roles in SYAA's CenterStage productions.

Each session of the class, the theme of the show will vary, but each show is unique and exciting in its own way. This semester, the class will be delving into the world of lightsabers and the force as they create their very own fan-fiction ode to the Star Wars saga.
