Working under the direction of professional New York City-based theater artists, Urban Youth Theater (UYT) offers young aspiring actors, writers, and musicians the opportunity to dive into the world of theater.

Urban Youth Theater has been a core program of Abrons Education since the mid 90s. UYT goes beyond a program to get students on the stage with instruction from New York City-based theater artists as the program has created generations of ensembles that have led to careers in dance, music, and theater. Many UYT peers remain in touch to this day and some have brought back their experience to Abrons Arts Center’s education team decades later.

Please note: this class will begin on February 4.
