Succeed Onstage and Off
The Young Conservatory teaches more than just acting. By training at the YC, students gain the creative and communication skills to succeed in just about anything. Students learn to incorporate the
craft of theater into their everyday lives, developing concentration, imagination, professionalism, character, and self-confidence along the way. Many students go on to study theater and performance in college, and alumni are often seen gracing stages and screens in the Bay Area and across the country. Some YC alumni include:
- Darren Criss (Emmy and Golden Globe Award–winner)
- Erika Henningsen (Mean Girls on Broadway)
- Adam Jacobs (Aladdin on
Broadway)
- Winona Ryder (Stranger Things)
- Milo Ventimiglia (This Is Us).
“The Young Conservatory is the absolute best place for any hopeful young artist,” says Darren Criss. “It instilled in me a sense of excitement and confidence, as well as the tools that I would go on to use in developing my professional
career.”
