Neptune's Youth Performance Company
In this process-oriented program, students work with a professional creative team to hone their acting, singing, and dancing skills, culminating in a professionally designed production on the Neptune Scotiabank Stage.
YPCo Boot Camps
The Youth Performance Company (YPCo) is an essential part of theatre school pre-professional training and the development of young artists. YPCo members attend Boot Camps, specialty workshops, participate in community outreach and work as an ensemble to create productions on the Neptune stage.
Our YPCo Boot Camps are 10 days (two weeks, Monday to Friday) of intensive performing arts training programs for students 13-18yrs old. They include over 60 hours of training in either acting and/or musical theatre performance and run for two consecutive weeks in the summer.

YPCo Auditions
Auditions for our Heathers & Crypthand are complete for the year. Stay tuned for next year's YPCo season.
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR A FUTURE AUDITION?
Monitor our social media @neptunetheatreschool where we post about these opportunities. This can mean that you might have to be ready for an audition with fairly short notice - this is common in the theatre industry. Any students interested in working towards YPCo Boot Camps or productions should begin to gather a repertoire of 2 monologues and 2 songs of your choice that you feel show your work as an artist. This is something you can work on in your free time or with any coaches or instructors that you have (or show and share with friends!). Keeping this work up to date will help you feel more prepared when auditions do come around.
For specific YPCo shows, we will send out the scenes and songs we would like you to prepare at least a few days in advance.
YPCo Boot Company members (those who have participated in our shows or Boot Camps in the past three years) will have first priority in our audition timeline.
