This program has proven to be unique and impactful in many ways. The Ensemble Youth Company is distinguished by its unique approach to theater, involving members in creating and performing plays that reflect their experiences. These exciting and relatable performances help increase cross-generational understanding and create meaningful social change. Young audience members can see themselves reflected in the plays performed, and older audiences can better understand the challenges facing young people today. During the months of March and April of this year, the ensemble toured their most recent show titled, “Inevitable?” and received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Members of this ensemble demonstrate high levels of commitment, resilience, and teamwork, while supporting each other and building strong friendships along the way. Members have access to work experience opportunities and learn about the theater industry, allowing them to build skills they can use to gain future training or employment in the creative industries of their choice.
