Young Professional Performers Series

Out Front Theatre Company’s Young Professional Performers Series was established to give high school students and young adults the chance to perform in a theatrical atmosphere outside of the classroom. Out Front wanted to give students the chance to participate in a show that would not typically be performed in a setting that they are used to, as well as allow them the opportunity to perform on a professional stage. The Young Professional Performers Series is a summer education program with auditions being held at the end of the school year and beginning of summer.
