YTE is open to area kids ages 9-15, who will learn about theatre first-hand this summer, as part of two intensive three-week programs:

The BPP has a long history of theatre education programs, including its annual Mini-Play Festival, the School of Dramatic Arts (SODA), and the Parks and Playwrights camp, part of the Parks Department’s Kids’ City program. The YTE Musical program made its debut at the BPP three years ago with the successful musical Fiddler on the Roof, Jr., followed by Once on This Island Jr. and the YTE Shakespeare program made its debut two years ago with Shakespeare’s The Tempest to sold out houses.

Rehearsals and performances for both the YTE-Musical and Shakespeare sessions will be held at the BPP, 107 W. 9th Street (between College and Walnut) and participants ages 9-16 may register by calling 334-1188 or coming by the BPP theatre.

Tuition is $450 for the first session and $425 for the second session.

Each session is held Mondays-Friday 9am-4pm and includes performances for a paying audience with proceeds going to support the BPP scholarship fund. Scholarships are available for students with financial needs and parents may inquire about scholarships by calling the BPP.

Those interested are encouraged to sign up soon as space is limited and this is one of the BPP’s most popular programs.
