Young Actors Project

YOUNG ACTORS PROJECT PRODUCED SEVEN PLAYS, SIX IMPROV SHOWS AND ONE SHORT FILM WITH YOUNG STUDENTS IN 2019. WE PROVIDED AFTER-SCHOOL CLASSES AND SUMMER CAMPS TO 375 YOUTH AND CREATED SPECIAL THEATRICAL EVENTS FOR THE COMMUNITY TO ATTEND. WE INCLUDED CHILDREN WHO ARE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM AND THOSE WITH PHYSICAL AND LEARNING DIABILITIES INTO OUR PROGRAMS. DUE TO THE WOOLSEY FIRE IN 2018, YOUNG ACTORS PROJECT RECEIVED GRANTS IN 2019 TO RESUME OUR PROGRAMS THAT HAD BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO THE DEVESTATION IN THE AREA, AND PROVIDE DRAMA THERAPY PROGRAMS TO HELP CHILDREN WHO HAD LOST THEIR HOMES IN THE FIRE. OUR PROGRAMS CONTINUE TO PROVIDE PERFORMING ARTS EDUCATION TO YOUNG PEOPLE IN TEN COMMUNITIES IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA.
