The Rainbow Company Youth Theatre

The Rainbow Company Youth Theatre Rainbow Company Youth Theatre is Las Vegas’s nationally acclaimed, award-winning youth theatre. Ticket prices are $6 per person.

The Rainbow Company Youth Theatre is a nationally acclaimed, award-winning youth theatre group which operates under the City of Las Vegas Office of Cultural Affairs. The company provides a professional training program for young people and theatre art classes for all ages. The core of the Rainbow Company is its ensemble of 40 dedicated students, ages 10 to 18, selected yearly by open auditions. Th

e Rainbow Company Ensemble members work in all aspects of each production. The costumes, make-up, sets, lights, sound and backstage crew responsibilities are all handled by Ensemble members under the tutelage of professional directors and designers. Serving as an Ensemble member requires participants to make a serious commitment to learning the art of theatre. Casting for Rainbow Company shows is age appropriate-adults in adult roles and children in children's roles-and all auditions are open to members of the community. (There is always a need for adults to audition!)

Classes are offered year-round for young people ages 4-18 at Charleston Heights Arts Center. Those who are 4-12 years of age concentrate on improvisation, acting and creative drama. Older, more experienced, young people explore classes in all aspects of theatre. The Student Ensemble program offers professional-level training to young people, ages 10-18, in all areas of theatre. This nationally recognized program is a huge time commitment; but for the serious theatre student, it is ideal. The Ensemble is for students who want to learn all aspects of theatre, and all students are required to work on all productions, either backstage or on stage. A touring show goes out into the schools on Tuesdays and Thursdays, February-May, to perform for upward of 11,000 young people each year. For more than 25 years, the show has been an original musical production focusing on Nevada history.

For beginners who want to learn performance basics, meet Rainbow Alum Liz Tovar!

While Rainbow Collective is great for the advanced student looking to become a triple threat, the door is open at Charleston Heights for students of any age to dip their toes into acting and performance for the first time.

Elizabeth Tovar (future Nurse!) is an enthusiastic Rainbow Company Ensemble alumna, but has been in theater companies around the valley since the age of 5. She has been co-teaching the new Rainbow Company Collective and introductory acting classes since January 2026 with brother David Tovar. As a gold medal recipient of the 24-hour SkillsUSA video production competition and student of the Las Vegas Academy film and video program, her passion for acting transcends the stage and onto the screen. With a passion for community service and volunteering with children, she now wants to give back to the space that nurtured her passion for theater and shaped her. She strives to make a positive impact on the youth of Las Vegas in the upcoming fall 2026 sessions!

On Saturdays, Liz will teach:

📖Storybook Adventures (ages 4-7):
Step into the pages of your favorite books! Each week, young imaginations will come to life through stories, creative movement, dramatic play, crafts, music and interactive games. From enchanted forests to pirate ships, every class is a new adventure that encourages creativity, confidence and a love of storytelling.

🌟Youth Acting (ages 8-12):
Step into the spotlight! Young performers will explore the fundamentals of acting through theater games, improvisation, character development, voice work and scene study. Students will build confidence, communication skills and creativity while having fun bringing stories and characters to life on stage.

🎭Teen Acting (ages 13-18)
Take center stage and sharpen your performance skills! This dynamic class introduces teens to acting techniques, improvisation, character analysis and scene work. Whether you're new to theater or looking to grow as a performer, you'll gain confidence, collaboration skills and valuable stage experience in a supportive environment.

These classes are great options for learning the acting craft in a pressure-free environment with students of similar age and skill level.

Registration opens Aug. 1 for classes in September, October, November and December. Visit rainbowcompany.org for more info.

Returning To Teach "Rainbow Collective" In 2026-2027
David Tovar!

We know David is a popular fellow since Rainbow Collective sold out the last two sessions it was offered! Registration opens Aug. 1 for September, October, November and December 2026 sessions.

"Rainbow Collective" is an inclusive Tuesday evening program for young performers ages 10-18, where beginners feel supported and advanced students stay challenged through cross-age collaboration and peer mentorship. Each evening features ensemble building, theater history and modern performance fundamentals. A high school-level intensive that rotates every few weeks, Rainbow Collective includes acting, voice and choreography, creating a perfect scenario for students who want to be triple threats.

This course is one of the primary three tracks required for Rainbow Company Ensemble students (along with "Rainbow Cinema for Film" and "Rainbow Construction" for technical production skills). However, Rainbow Collective, Rainbow Cinema and Rainbow Construction ALSO are open for registration to any student, ages 10-18, who would like to learn these crafts. All are welcome!

David Tovar is a dedicated educator, mentor and multi-faceted creative committed to guiding the next generation of storytellers. Since fall 2023, he has served as a teaching artist with The Rainbow Company Youth Theatre, where he directed "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" and led various community classes for ages 5-18. Tovar is the full-time teacher of Las Vegas Academy's Film & Video Conservatory, where he empowers students of all levels to see the value of their voices and perspectives. He acts as advisor for student-led clubs, organizes educational field trips across the country and provides opportunities for young artists to thrive.

"Rainbow Collective" opens for registration Aug. 1.
