The Young Artist Training Program (YATP)

Talented youth and young professionals, working together to reach their performing arts goals.

 

Under the direction of Stephanie Riggs, Educational Director, YATP is our renowned musical theatre training program. Established in 1993 in Flower Mound, YATP celebrates our 31st year in 2023. We have trained students with careers on both stage and screen, that span across the United States and Europe, from London to Los Angeles, New York to Chicago, and right here at home in Big D.

 

YATP students make a big impact wherever they go.  

 

The small, conservatory style program admits students by auditions each year, most of whom train with the program for more than five years until graduation, when they move on to both professional careers and outstanding university programs. Our working professional alumni, credit YATP with giving them the strong foundations for the work they do today.

​

We hope you enjoy the videos of our students and parents below.  They can best describe the magic of YATP.  We encourage all prospective students to experience a YATP live performance event, in particular our spring musical production.
