7 Stages’ Summer theatre training program for teenagers
Youth Creates is 7 Stages’ training program providing experiential learning and performance opportunities for teenagers. Through playwriting, design, and performance, students collaborate to create an original production. This summer we continue to be dedicated to safe collaborations and looking forward to creating together again still in limited safe distances at the theatre! We will explore various techniques and skills, support your visions and ultimately celebrate by welcoming audiences in person AND online to our world premiere!
Professional artists lead workshops in a wide variety of disciplines!
The ensemble has included some of Atlanta’s finest professional artists, apprentices, and students. Last year’s teaching artists included: Dorothy Bell, our resident vocalist and a beloved Atlanta actress; Theresa Davis, a world-renowned poet and author; Mama YeYe, our spiritual movement and African Dance guide; Destiny Renee, film actress, producer and poet; and Ari Conkright, professional lighting designer, costume and special effect artist, and YC alum!
Check out these YC Stories from a variety of Youth Creates Alumni over the program’s 20+ years!
