Serving young artists in The Bronx and Southern Westchester County with a need-blind admissions policy, Young at Arts is enriched and enlivened by the great variety of cultural, economic, racial, and religious backgrounds of our students.

Each semester, our young people come together under the guidance of professional arts instructors to share ideas and to create first-rate theatrical performances in a safe, supportive, passionate environment. In so doing, our young artists find that creativity and discipline are not mutually exclusive; their development onstage is mirrored by the offstage development of improved work habits, increased problem-solving abilities, and powerful dedication to team work.

Rehearsing after school during the fall and spring semesters, and five days a week during our summer performing arts camp, our young artists work directly with top musical and theatrical directors, conductors, professional actors, writers, musicians, and designers - many of whom are leaders in their fields. Our College Intern Program allows outstanding graduates of our program valuable experience as performers, teachers, assistant conductors, directors, stage managers, and designers. At each class and at every rehearsal, Young at Arts trains voices, minds, hearts, and imaginations to explore the magic of theater and music with integrity, spirit, and boundless energy.
