Theater For Youth, Performed By Youth
Grades 3-12

Youth4Youth is our auditioned-in group for students that have grown the most in our program. The Youth4Youth program is modeled after ThumbCoast Theater’s MainStage Theatres, preparing students for what professional theatre looks like. Because of this, the rehearsal and production process for Youth4Youth shows is very fast-paced. This program is intended to help students get accustomed to what goes into putting on a production. The Youth4Youth students work hands-on the entire process and assist in producing the show in avenues like designing and tech operation, props, costumes, set design and set build, lights, sound, media, and many others.

Shows produced by the Academy’s Youth4Youth program are geared towards young audiences. Youth4Youth allows students to introduce theatre to young kids to inspire them and introduce them to the arts. 

If your child is interested in future Youth4Youth Programming, we encourage them to enroll in our Seasonal Classes (available for ages Kindergarten and up!) Learn more on our Spring Classes page or contact our Education Director, Stephanie@ThumbCoastTheaters.com.

YOUTH4YOUTH IN 2023!

The 2023 Youth4Youth Production was Disney’s Descendants The Musical. This Youth4Youth Program offered (3) opportunities for our Academy students. They participated in an Audition Prep Workshop to hone their audition skills, participated in a full Audition and Callback, and those students who were cast in the musical participated in production rehearsals and performances.
