The Young Shakespeareans (TYS) is an EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION using Shakespeare’s works to provide broad and diverse opportunities in an academically challenging, entertaining, applied learning/practice context while exploring a wide spectrum of human nature and experience.

TYS Programs are designed to:

• Inspire our students’ curiosity;
• Expand their perceptions and expectations of themselves and their capabilities;
• Broaden their knowledge of the world around them, its possibilities, and promise;
• Prime them for futures as powerful and collaborative leaders;
• Inform the expectations of those who underestimate them.

TYS Teaching Artists lead and/or co-teach our 2nd-12th graders in after-school workshops/rehearsals to deliver full-production, culturally relevant student performances at LAUSD Title 1 Elementary, Middle, & High Schools in underserved communities throughout Los Angeles County.
