Each program is thoughtfully selected to support classroom learning while introducing students to the power of live theatre, music, and storytelling in a professional setting.

Accessibility & Inclusivity

Every Student Belongs

We are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive theatre experience for every student.

Youtheatre audiences include students from many schools, districts, ages, and backgrounds. Some students may be attending their first live performance, while others are seasoned theatre-goers.

North Shore Center welcomes students with physical disabilities, cognitive differences, and a wide variety of individual needs. We ask everyone to practice patience, respect, and good theatre etiquette to help create a positive experience for the entire audience.

Patience and kindness make a difference. Every audience may look, sound, and respond a little differently.
