Education – Youth
Young At Heart’s Fall Session is About to Start
Calling all young actors! Young at Heart Youth Theatre has two sessions beginning September 5th. For ages 5-11, the Saturday morning classes will bring the beloved characters of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown to life through a fun mix of popular songs and favorites from that musical.
For actors aged 10+, we’ll put a fresh twist on Shakespeare’s most magical comedy, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, where mischievous fairies, enchanted forests, confused lovers, and hilarious adventures collide.
Students will work on your acting, dancing, and singing skills, while having a blast and making friends. Classes are held Saturdays at the Raven, with the culminating performances on January 6th & 7th for the 5-11 crowd and January 8, 2027 for the 10+ class. Tuition is $300. Please email Katie@youngathearttheatre.com with any questions.
Founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1980, Young At Heart Theatre is a program designed to bring arts education to children of all ages, interests, and backgrounds. Now, as the resident youth theatre company at the Raven Performing Arts Theater, we bring that same commitment to Sonoma County.
We believe that theatre and the arts can impact the world and change it, one person at a time. There are many future directors, actors, producers, and more just waiting for the opportunity to explore and discover their talents.
This program is one from the heart, and founded on the idea that every child should have access to arts education. The Arts help heal trauma and build resilience and this is so needed right now in Sonoma County. Review our current programs here.
Enroll your child in Young at Heart’s next class. Scholarships and payment plans are available.
