Theatre Intensive for High School Students

Originally developed as Classic Conservatory for Young Adults with Island Shakespeare Festival by Eric Mulholland, this unique intensive is specifically designed to challenge and enhance the skills and capacities of teenage performers.

In 2015, the Board of Directors for ISF & WCT agreed to relocate CCYA to WCT, satisfying many points of interest for both organizations' missions. (Read more about this decision on our blog here.) In September 2016, CCYA became TCYA to allow room for incorporating contemporary training and/or productions.
