Youth Theater Workshops The Morgan-Wixson Theatre and the Youth Education / Entertainment Series (Y.E.S) have been working with youth actors and delighting audiences throughout the Los Angeles area for over 25 years. Our newly launched educational program has been offering workshops in vocals, acting, dance, and audition preparation for the past year, first on Zoom and now in person using all Covid safety protocols. A highly skilled team has designed curriculum for all levels of experience from the novice to the advanced. Our goal is to include everyone who wishes to take these workshops! We never turn away any student because they cannot pay full tuition. Students do not need to apply for a scholarship or to provide any family financial information. We are able to do this because of the generosity of our Morgan-Wixson community. If you could donate any amount in addition to the tuition for your student, we will provide you with a donation letter for your tax return and we will be so grateful.
