Alumni
About Our Alumni
At Young Artists of America®, we focus on teaching students skills to help find their voice on stage and wherever life takes them. While it is not our exclusive goal to lead our students to collegiate or professional stages and screens, our award-winning approach has done just that.
Many of our alumni go on to study at conservatories and collegiate musical theatre programs, and perform professionally on Broadway, national tours, and with top regional theatre companies.
