New Stage Theatre's Youth Acting Troupe (YAT) was formed in 2011. It is opened to youth ages 6th-12th grades and no previous acting experience is necessary. Scene study, a holiday performance, and a spring Shakespeare show are all on the menu for the Youth Acting Troupe this year. The troupe has previously performed at New Stage’s Warehouse Theatre, Belhaven Shakespeare in the Park, the Willie Morris Library, Highland Village, the Mississippi Museum of Art, the Pearl Library, and at the Mississippi Children’s Museum. All skill levels welcome.
