Bay City Players’ Encore Youtheatre program aims to provide educational and enriching theatrical experiences for youth in the local tri-city area. We offer year-round workshops ranging in topics from specialty and basic makeup application to audition preparedness, as well as an annual summer program where students can work together to put on a show directed by their peers. To ring in the next season of Encore Youtheatre, we hold auditions for our annual fall Youtheatre production, where those who are cast have the opportunity to be directed by experienced theatre educators.
If you are interested in joining the committee to assist in planning and executing Youtheatre programming, please send an email to info@baycityplayers.org
