Theatre doesn’t happen in one place, nor one city. It doesn’t even happen just onstage. Theatre happens everywhere—in every cue sheet, every drafted light plot, every dramaturgical packet, every rehearsal room breakdown, every student notebook full of sketches and scene shifts.
Today, we’re proud to introduce a space built for the young artists who make all of that possible.
Welcome to YTAC: The Young Theatre Artists Collective — a global, accessible, online community created for and by students who shape the magic beyond the curtain.
The Spotlight Belongs to Everyone
YTAC exists because the stage isn’t just for actors.
Designers, directors, stage managers, dramaturgs, technicians, writers, and creators of every specialization deserve a community that understands their craft and supports their growth.
YTAC is that community.
Whether you’re drafting light plots, writing dramaturgical research, stage-managing school shows, experimenting with sound design, or exploring where you fit in theatre — you belong here.
What YTAC Offers
YTAC is built around three core pillars designed to support young theatre artists anywhere in the world.
1. Community
A dedicated online platform where members can talk, collaborate, share works-in-progress, ask questions, and build relationships with peers who care about theatre just as deeply.
2. Mentorship & Networking
Access to mentors, guest speakers, and professionals across disciplines.
In a field driven by collaboration and connection, YTAC helps young artists expand their network beyond local buildings and borders.
3. Education & Development
Workshops, labs, and events covering the real skills behind theatre-making: dramaturgy, stage management, design, directing, script analysis, and more.
All online. All accessible. All made with young artists in mind.
A New Kind of Theatre Space
YTAC isn’t tied to one school, one state, or one company.
It’s a collective– an online space and organization where high-school and undergraduate students from anywhere in the world can come together to learn, experiment, and grow without barriers.
No travel costs. No auditions. No membership dues.
Just a genuine community of people who care about the craft.

The Future Is Collaborative
Theatre has always thrived when artists work together.
YTAC creates that collaboration on a global scale — a space where tomorrow’s designers, directors, dramaturgs, stage managers, technicians, and writers can come together long before they meet in a rehearsal room.
Welcome to YTAC.
We’re building the future of theatre — together.
