About YA Summer Theatre Camp

We are excited to be partnering with the City Heights Educational Collaborative and San Diego State University's Theatre department to present Young Actors Theatre Camp: Waking up California History for 4th and 5th graders. Students will learn about our state's fascinating history through theatre and storytelling  right in San Diego State's Experimental Black Box Theatre.  

Why we need your help

YASD's  dance, literary arts,  music, theatre, and visual art  programs ignite creativity in thousands of children in San Diego,  and they depend on the support of those who understand the value and necessity of arts education..like you! We cannot continue inspiring young people without your help.

"The flat world is overflowing with students who can do the routine work of production, and do it much more cheaply than Americans can. How can our young people and, by extension, our nation succeed is such an environment? The answer is through creativity and innovation"  --YA National Annual Report

 

How you can help

This is your chance to show how important the arts are to you! Our goal is to raise at least $2,500, and we need your help.
