About the Conservatory

The Young, Gifted & Brave Conservatory is an intensive theatre program designed for young actors from diverse and underserved communities who are passionate about high-quality actor training and performance education. Through immersive workshops, one-on-one coaching, and professional mentorship, students develop the skills necessary to shine on stage and beyond.

A professional training experience

Throughout the school year, students receive ongoing one-on-one coaching and specialized workshops with industry professionals. This training prepares them for the summer session, where they apply their skills in a fully staged musical theatre production, performed for the community.

  • Acting: Scene work, character development, and improvisation
  • Dance: Movement, choreography, and stage presence
  • Voice: Vocal training for both singing and speech performance

Who Can Join?
