Young Artists Council

The Young Artists Council (YAC) is a leadership group of teens who are dedicated to the advancement of young artists in our community. As creative leaders under the age of 21, they are an advisory force for YPC. The council meets bimonthly and works on a variety of projects in support of Youth Performance Company. They also organize their own shows, which are directed, created, and produced by artists 21 or younger.

An angst-ridden teen... a sexy vampire...
Against all odds, the two fall in love.  Will a pack of blood thirsty trackers and the disapproval of their family keep them apart? 
Hold on you little spider monkeys!

Current Community Service Initiatives
The Young Artists Council is collecting donations for Haiti relief.  Individuals who contribute more than $5 will receive a “Paix Haiti” (Peace Haiti) button. Donations are accepted at the Young Artists Council information table in the lobby during all performances. 

The Council is also collecting donations of new and gently-used children’s shoes for The Alley Shoppe.  There is a donation drop box in the lobby of the theater.  You can also drop items off in the lobby at YPC's headquarters.
