The Young Actors Theatre at the Birmingham Children’s Theatre, one of the nation’s oldest and largest professional theaters for children, draws on a six decade legacy of educating and entertaining over twelve million children. 

Classes will include acting, music, dance, voice and diction, stage combat, and more! Our curriculum instills fundamental childhood growth skills: teamwork, interpersonal communication, reading, comprehension, self-confidence, self-discipline and leadership; while fostering creativity, imagination and a playful curiosity. Academy instructors are highly qualified, working theatre professionals. Class enrollments are limited to ensure that your child will have access to one-on-one instruction. YAT Academy sessions culminate with a performance piece involving every child.
