Trinity Rep creates an encouraging environment with ample opportunities for young people of all ages and abilities.
Studio Classes
Trinity Rep’s Young Actors Studio provides in-depth programming for students interested in all aspects of theater. General acting classes take place over fall, winter, and spring trimesters and focus on different acting techniques, playwriting, improvisation, and scene study. Year-round advanced classes are taught by members of our education staff. In the summer, we offer classes for students entering 1st grade through graduated seniors in our exceptional Young Actors Summer Institute.
YASI (Young Actors Summer Institute) & SAS (Summer Actors Institute)
Our Young Actors Summer Institute (YASI) programs are some of the most comprehensive summer arts enrichment programs in New England. Led by experienced, enthusiastic local artists and educators, YASI can help students from kindergarten through recent high school graduates develop confidence, make new friends, and have plenty of summer fun. Welcoming students of all abilities, YASI teaches students about a variety of theater topics, so there’s something for everyone!
