I did lessons before and after the field trip. I have many English language learners in my class, and they learned a ton from the show and experience.

I had never been more challenged as a performer or as a person in my life until Young REP. The unique environment, professionalism, and education of this program is of great value. I cannot think of a better place for young people to come together and explore themselves and the theatre.
