Now Accepting Theater Arts Apprenticeship Program (TAAP) Applications for Our February 2022 Production of Sweeney Todd

TAAP is YMTC’s mentorship program for students interested in the behind-the-scenes aspects of a production. Students gain in-depth, hands-on experience in their chosen track by assisting and learning from the professional directors and designers on one of YMTC’s productions.

We welcome students of all levels (7th grade to university-age) to apply, regardless of previous experience. Whether you are a seasoned student of the theater and are getting ready to launch into a career, or just starting out and interested in seeing whether theater is for you, this is an excellent opportunity for all!

TAAP is a tuition-based program. Tuition assistance is available and may be applied for after being accepted into the program.

Our 17th season opens with the epic, Penny Dreadful-inspired revenge tragedy, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In 19th century London, barber Sweeney Todd returns home from serving time for unjust charges trumped up by a cruel judge. Having lost everyone he loves, he teams up with Mrs. Lovett, the proprietress of a meat pie shop, to seek vengeance for his family – and provide the pie shop with plenty of fresh meat. The ensuing morality tale is dark, twisted, gothic, and wickedly funny, set to one of Stephen Sondheim’s finest scores. Attend the tale in February 2022 - not to be missed!
