The comprehensive performance workshops cover everything from vocal techniques, dance, and comedy improvisation, to stage movement, sound, lighting, and more.  Hundreds of students from 4th through 12th grade learning to work together, to respect each other’s strengths, and to discover their own potential - all through the universal language of music and dance.

After three days of intensive performance instruction it’s show time!  The Young Americans perform the first act, then to the astonishment of parents, friends, teachers and administrators the participating students perform the second act with The Young Americans.
