At Fort Wayne Youtheatre, we believe every child deserves the chance to discover their voice, explore their creativity, and shine. Our theatre classes are designed to nurture imagination, build confidence, and encourage teamwork—all while having fun!
With classes for ages 3–18, Youtheatre offers something for every student, from beginners just finding their spark to experienced young performers looking to refine their craft. No matter their skill level, every child is welcome to step into the spotlight and grow both on stage and off.
Research shows arts education boosts focus, self-expression, and social-emotional skills in young people. Students who participate in creative arts from an early age develop stronger reasoning, communication, and problem-solving abilities—and tend to perform better academically, including on standardized tests like the SAT.
Our Teaching Artists are the heart of every class. Each instructor is a passionate professional bringing real-world experience and a love of teaching to the classroom. Their expertise ensures every student receives high-quality, engaging instruction that inspires creativity, builds skill, and fosters lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Our Spring 2026 Semester will take place January 31st – March 21st. Classes are held at Fort Wayne Youtheatre, 2426 Lake Ave, are 55-minutes long, and take place weekly on Saturday. Please check back in November 2025 for detailed enrollment information.
Assisting with a Youtheatre class is a great opportunity to gain real-world experience that will enhance future job applications, college resumes, and more! This unpaid opportunity is ideal for students looking to develop real-world skills, strengthen leadership abilities, and deepen their appreciation for the arts and teamwork. Application information for Spring 2026 will be posted in November 2025.
