Theater is one of the most

disciplined art forms and, for us

at Weathervane Playhouse; it is

a calling, a developed craft, a

debate platform, a profession,

and a way of life.

Along with the nervousness, excitement, fun, and passion

that accompany being on stage, the Weathervane Young

Artists’ Repertory Theatre (WYART) is dedicated to

providing young artists with a theatre education that will

help them excel in the ever-changing performing arts

profession. At WYART we offer a variety of performing

arts classes and workshops, lead by professional artists

and teachers, that emphasize technique, discipline,

spontaneity, and theatrical skill. The heart of the WYART

programs is the process, not just the product. While many

of our workshops culminate in performances or

demonstrations, the focus during the programs is on the

artistic and personal development of the individual

student.

Through disciplined,

creativity-based theatre

training, students

develop skills in public

speaking, critical

thinking, self-confidence,

and collaboration with

others. We believe these skills prepare young theatre

artists to take a place of responsibility in the community at

large, not only as artists, but as great leaders, neighbors

and overall citizens.

boards, running sound, and helping backstage. This is not only

a great learning opportunity, but also a great resume builder.
