Based on the popular film in the 80s, Heathers The Musical: High School Edition is a story of Veronica Sawyer, a brainy teenage misfit who hustles her way into the most powerful and ruthless clique at Westerberg High: the Heathers. But before she can get comfortable atop the high school food chain, Veronica falls in love with the new kid J.D. who has a dark past. When Heather Chandler, the Almighty, kicks her out of the group, Veronica decides to bite the bullet and kiss Heather's butt. but J.D. has another plan for that bullet. Heathers The Musical: High School Edition is a black comedy that deals with a variety of topics that maybe upsetting or triggering. While some of the language has been altered from the original version for teen actors and audiences, the characters, issues, and the plot is exactly the same. Please make sure to visit our website YouthTheatre.org ahead to time to determine if this is suitable for you/your child to see.

The topics that come up are:
- bullying
- suicide attempt
- murder (one is poisoned, two are shot)
- use of guns on stage (we will not use guns that actually fire blanks)
- body image (one character is scripted to be overweight)
- school violence (school is blown up in the end--the student who plants it dies)
- threat of rape
- rumor of false gay relationship spread with malicious intent

YTN has taken appropriate measures to discuss these issues with the actors involved in the production as well as looking out for their mental health in the process so that everyone feels comfortable performing the show. If you have any questions, please contact our Executive Artistic Director (and the director of this production), Mimi Katano at mimi@youththeare.org.

Matilda has astonishing wit, intelligence. and special powers! She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however - the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers and catchy songs, Matilda Jr. is a joyous kid-power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

Audience members are required to remain masked while indoors at YTN.

For roles with multiple actors, casting for each performance will be announced by April 5th.

Join us for a staged reading of the brand new script, The Wall and the Woods!

Play/Write is a new YTN program, in which the students create a show from scratch! Through improv, devising exercises, and brainstorms they created a foundation from which our playwright, Daniel Repp, wrote his script.

In this new fantasy dystopia, 13-year-old Lily is a proud Gatewatcher, defending the great city of Nestuk against enemies from the surrounding woods. When she is captured by a young group of rebels from beyond Nestuk's walls, Lily learns a dark secret about her city and what they've been fighting to keep away - a secret that will lead her to magic beasts, cryptic riddles, and unlikely allies. Come see the debut reading of this original play inspired by the cast's answer to the question: what sort of show do you wish you could put onstage?

Audience members will need to remain masked while indoors at YTN.

A former singer, now realtor, struggles with the modern dating scene after becoming a widow two years ago only to have her life turned upside down when she finds a mysterious note from her dead husband telling her it's okay to "move on." A modern, romantic comedy for grown-ups about love, loss and finding your Forever Home.

Tiny Beautiful Things transcends being a play and will leave you with unexpected counsel for everyday life. It soon becomes apparent how much Sugar's own being and empathy for others is anchored by Twelve Step fundamentals. Acceptance: embrace reality, don't run from it. What's more, own it: good or bad, ugly or beautiful, life is yours.

We welcome and embrace our shared humanity through live theater. We question norms and thrive because of our diversity and energetic commitment to excellence.

Henry David Thoreau is best known for Walden, his record of two years spent striving to create a model of simplified existence in the woods, and for Civil Disobedience, which proved to be an inspiration for Gandhi and other people seeking social change.

Working from Thoreau's journals, acclaimed Northwest writer David Wagoner crafts a vivid portrait of encounters with birds, animals, plants, and weather among the remarkably varied landscapes around Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau believed that cities were saved, not by the good men in them, but by the forests and swamps around them. He knew from the start the dangers in an exclusively commercial America and tried to show in all his words and actions, in the whole flavor of his life, a richer alternative.

This play - so timely as we wrestle with the effect the human race has had on the natural world - connects us to Thoreau shortly before his early death yet still active in mind and heart, planning the fullest life he could imagine, and finding wonderment in the smallest details of the landscape he called home.
