"I am jazzed about all that AMT Youth Theater offers. It is a luxury to find a regional theatre home right in the middle of the theatre district. We offer opportunities for youth to perform in published Broadway musicals with a team of New York Artists leading the way. There are classes in musical theatre, acting, dance, voice, Shakespeare, writing and more. The ability to learn and perform steps away from the Al Hirschfield theatre is a huge asset. The youth group have the opportunity to work alongside Broadway actors, including masterclasses. We are also spearheading a program of new works written for children's entertainment. What better place is there to learn about theatre than smack dab in the heart of it? I am a firm believer that arts education not only creates talented souls, it also creates loving, empathetic and accepting ones. At AMT the youth will find a safe home to create and to feel free to be exactly who they want to be."
