Youth Artist Project
Back for the sixth year, the Youth Artist Project partners student artists with professional theatre artists and educators to bring a show to life! The student team will design and direct Disney’s Winnie the Pooh KIDS under the mentorship of the professional team, and each student production team member will receive a stipend of $250 at the end of the process.
