"I look forward to creating a collaborative space for our young actors once again, where they can pursue their love of the performing arts while fostering their curiosity for learning, growth, and personal development."

The Company
The Living Theater Company is our premier youth performance troupe, created for dedicated teen artists seeking a deeper, more immersive theatrical experience. Participation is by audition and designed for students ready to move beyond training alone and into the rich, collaborative process of full-scale production.
Company members engage in rigorous rehearsal processes that mirror the expectations of professional theater—learning to work as an ensemble, take creative risks, and bring powerful stories to life on stage. The work is artistically challenging, emotionally resonant, and socially relevant, giving students the opportunity to explore big questions and complex human experiences through the lens of performance.
Each season, The Company selects a play that pushes creative boundaries and sparks meaningful dialogue.
Beyond the stage, this experience cultivates essential life skills: leadership, accountability, empathy, and resilience. Actors receive high-level training in character development, advanced acting technique, and script analysis, while learning how to collaborate effectively under the guidance of experienced theater educators.
The Company is a community. It’s a space for passionate young people to come together and be seen, challenged, and celebrated for their voices and creative contributions.
