YAP’s SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, 2021

My favorite thing about doing the YAP summer show is getting to work with so many new people. I learned so much from my peers and made so many new friends. During my YAP experience I was able to take many master classes and workshops. These workshops before rehearsal helped prepare me for future shows and experiences. Not only that, but the whole YAP staff was so supportive throughout the whole show process. I recommend YAP to any performers who want a fun but also incredibly professional environment. I learned so many things that I will take with me for the rest of my musical theatre journey.

I absolutely love sending my high school performer to YAP class and the YAP summer program at Civic Theatre. The YAP staff shows true interest in every performer and encourages them to push themselves in a supportive, challenging, and loving environment. The overall climate created among the performers themselves is one of support and encouragement. The kids all are rooting for each other and understand the importance of each person involved in the performance. The kids are treated like professionals and therefore act professionally with each other. The master class offerings provide opportunity for students to learn new skills and hone their craft with professionals in the field. To say that my son cannot wait for the YAP summer program is an understatement – it is the absolute highlight of his summer. We truly have felt blessed to be part of this outstanding program.
