The Young People's Summer Workshop
The Young People's Summer
Workshop (YPSW) has been an
Island Players production since 1975. Each year this show
attracts anywhere from 60 to 80 children, ages 8 and up. The
YPSW introduces our local children to a wonderful theater
experience, teaching them various aspects of the theater. Not
only do the children have a great deal of fun, and meet other
local children to share the theater experience with, but they
learn about stage etiquette and how to be a responsible team
participant. Many of our children, who started their stage
experience with the YPSW, have pursued their love of theater
through high school and community drama clubs; and many have
gone on to college for Theater/Drama degrees and are now working
at various theaters nationwide.
