**Save 20% with Early Registration through July 31st!**

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!

Due to the nature of this program, no more than two absences may be accommodated -- while no absences is strongly preferred. Building a production is a team effort -- and every member of the team being present is essential! **Absolutely no absences are allowed on Oct. 25th or Nov. 1st.**
