Residencies

YPT’s residency program involves a series of workshops over several weeks. Length of workshops and series are determined in collaboration with the school. Workshops typically occur at the participating school.

These programs are an excellent opportunity to develop a long-term drama program with the support of experienced arts educators. Let YPT help you build a drama lunch club, elective program, full drama unit, and more!

Residencies often culminate in a final performance, but this is not a requirement.

Cost is dependent on length of residency. One residency booking can accommodate one group of up to 30 students.
