Government, Corporate and Community Giving
Youth Performance Company (YPC), is a world class, award-winning theatre and media arts producers, that develops and empowers young actors, singers, dancers, writers and production designers, to reach their artistic potential and become community leaders. Young artists participate in all aspects of creating cutting-edge performances, including writing, directing, building sets and designing costumes.
Many of YPC’s artists have gone on to professional careers in the arts or have used their experiences to become leaders in our community as business owners, elected officials, educators, healthcare practitioners, and social activists.
Families from all over the Twin Cities have come to rely on the fresh and exciting mainstage shows that are produced each season by YPC for over 33 years. In addition, kids from kindergarten through high school enroll in YPC’s classes in acting, singing, dancing, improv, and stage combat.
Artistic Director Jacie Knight founded Youth Performance Company in 1989 with a firm belief that young people are capable of artistic excellence. She had a vision that teens and young adults could have a voice in the creative process, become empowered as leaders, and produce theatre with the highest standards of artistic excellence. YPC continues to keep young artists center stage while holding professional artistic quality as a measure of success.
