The Young Performers Theater (YPT) is committed to providing an environment where young people's voices are heard; where they are given agency and can develop the empathy and responsibility needed to become future leaders of strong communities. We train young people to be observant listeners, insightful creators, thoughtful critics, passionate thinkers, and committed leaders. And perhaps most importantly of all: we play.
YPT is a kid-focused performing arts training program. We believe performance in front of a live audience is one of the most direclty valuable ways of becoming a stronger performer. So, our program focuses primarily on producing full-length plays and Broadway musicals in the historic Odess theater.
Youth ages 7 to 18 can participate and perform for schools and the community alike.

YPT on Hiatus in the Fall - A Note from Director Zeke Blackwell
Dear friends, you'll notice that there is no fall play scheduled this season. I will be on hiatus most of this fall, traveling outside of Sitka, resting, exploring, and reflecting. Consequently, there will be no fall production this year. We'll have auditions in November for our sensational winter musical, The Pirates of Penzance, and more information about that will be released later. In the meantime, I hope you all have a wonderful fall, and I look forward to catching up with you when I return!
