The Young Artists Council (YAC) is a leadership board of teens who are dedicated to the advancement of young artists in our community.

As creative leaders under the age of 21, they are an advisory force for YPC. The council meets monthly and works on a variety of projects in support of Youth Performance Company. They also organize their own shows, which are directed, created, and produced by artists 21 or younger. Throughout the year YAC also hosts a variety of social activities – from hayrides to holiday parties.

The council members serve a one year term. Each young artist that serves on the leadership council makes a huge commitment of time and service; between 10-20 hours a month attending meetings, facilitating projects and doing community service.

UPCOMING PROJECTS

COMING SUMMER 2026

The Young Artist’s Council of YPC presents:

Peter/Wendy

A play by Jeremy Bloom
Adapted from J.M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy
With segments from J.M. Barrie’s The Little White Bird

In this lyrical, atmospheric interpretation of Peter Pan, Jeremy Bloom strips the familiar story down to its emotional essence. Peter lures Wendy away from her nursery to the magical world of Neverland, where she joins his adventures with Tinker Bell, Tiger Lily and the menacing Captain Hook. A low-tech, inventive adaptation that pays homage to the darker themes of J. M. Barrie’s original, Peter/Wendy will mesmerize audiences of all ages.
