** Registration Note **

It IS possible to register more than one student in a single transaction. Simply select the total number of registrations you would like to purchase. During the check-out process, you will be prompted to fill out ticket information for each youth registered. We hope this makes the process smoother for our families with siblings!

Grades: K-5 (using your Fall 2025 grade level)

Location: Fort Wayne Youtheatre (RKF Studios) with a performance at Carroll High School

Enrollment: $200 ($160 with Early Registration)

Instructors: Alyssa Plisco, Chris Rasor, and Heather Closson

Every child deserves a chance to shine. Youtheatre's new Everyone Plays a Part program ensures that every registered child will have a role in a musical or theatrical production! It’s designed to create a supportive, welcoming space for all participants, especially those who may have felt left out in the past or faced anxiety around traditional auditions.

The best part? Everyone Plays a Part culminates in a performance of Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka KIDS -- highlighting every participant on stage!

Weekly sessions will occur on Saturdays from Sept. 6th - Nov. 1st from 2:30-4:30 PM. Everyone Plays a Part does not interfere with other Academy offerings, making it possible for youth to participate in both!
