The Washingtonians for Young Performing Artists (WYPA) is a 501 c(3) non-profit theater organization, working with young performers from grades 1-12, helping them to further realize their theatrical aspirations. Currently based in Montgomery County, MD, WYPA provides quality theatrical training and programming at reasonable rates. WYPA believes that every young performer that dreams of being in theatre should be granted the opportunity to do so. The OnStage Acting Companies is the newest theatrical production program in the area offered by the Washingtonians for Young Performing Artists. Students will audition for and participate in multiple plays and musicals throughout the year and every student who auditions will be cast. Young performers grades 4 -12 are given the opportunity to develop in all areas of theater including: acting, singing, dancing, creative management, technical theater, and business production in a pre-professional environment. The Factory School for Performing Artists:
The Factory School for Performing Artists or better known as The Factory, is WYPA's training ground for students grades 1-12. The Factory is committed to manufacturing today's dreamer into tomorrow's artistic leader by offering fully versed classes and learning opportunities covering all performing arts disciplines.
