Young Production Company
The Young Production Company provides experiential learning for directors, designers, technicians, stage managers, and anyone interested in working behind the scenes. Classes feature a wide range of workshops in stage management, production management, set/costume/lighting design, and other technical theatre elements.
Students will gain practical experience by working with our professional team of directors, stage managers, designers, and technicians on the Young Company show which is held at the end of May in the Rice Theatre at the Citadel.
Throughout the course of the season, students will also have the opportunity to shadow Citadel technicians during select Mainstage productions.
