What is the Young Adult Council?

It’s a place for teens to meet other CNY students with an interest in theatre, have a voice in the programming designed for them, and explore how theatre impacts their lives. The program focuses on peer led discussion and events in addition to advocating for theatre and arts participation to fellow students. YAC members also get a free ticket to each show in the current Syracuse Stage season.

What’s included in YAC programming?

Each season, the current group of YACs choose what they want to learn about. Previous workshops include audition prep, theatre criticism, marketing, directing, international theatre for young audiences, costume design, and behind the scenes talks with members of the Syracuse Stage creative team.
