Master Classes
Once each week students participate in a Master Class on different topics. Recent master classes have included: stage combat and swordplay, dance, an audition with Center REP's casting director, theatre make-up, stage management, voice-over, theatre history, and panel discussions with theatre professionals.

“Young REP gives you the courage to discover yourself as a person and an artist, and gives you the tools to continue this discovery long after you've left. I can't imagine a summer without Young REP; there's simply no place I would rather be! ”
“Young REP has helped me to discover that being yourself is the best thing you can do! Also being outgoing and taking risks in my classes and workshops helps me not only in theatre but also outside of it. As Will Springhorn, my Young REP acting teacher always tells us, “Fortune Favors the brave” ”
