Up the Down Staircase -

The Learning Curve at Central Library and the Young Actors Theatre present a performance featuring Young Actors Theatre TEENZ, a troupe of 35 students in grades 8 - 12. The show revolves around character Sylvia Barrett, a new high school teacher who finds herself in a near war with a discipline-over-everything administrator. But mostly she becomes involved in the unexpected and sometimes heartbreaking problems of her students.

Peter Pan -

The Learning Curve at Central Library and Young Actors Theatre present a modern twist to this classic fairy tale. From lost boy to superhero, this performance features two boys and a girl who follow Peter Pan and Tinker Bell into Never Land, where children never grow old and Captain Hook and her pirates are never outwitted. Performed by the Young Actors Theatre KIDZ, a troupe of 40 students in grades 3 - 7.

Young Actors Theatre (YAT) is Indianapolis’ oldest not-for-profit children’s theater, established in 1976. The mission of YAT is to instill confidence, creativity and discipline in local youth who participate in its programs. Participants learn the craft of acting through classes and rehearsals for a full-scale children’s or teenage play presented to the public at the end of each session.
