ThinkTank Theatre's
Young Artists’ Ensemble Apprentice Company!
Our YAE Company is a group of high school students from around the Tampa Bay Area who serve ThinkTank in an internship-like capacity. YAE Company Members have the opportunity to rehearse, understudy, perform, direct, design, stage manage and so much more alongside those theatre professionals employed in ThinkTank’s Mainstage Productions.
There are many incredible experiences that come with being part of the YAE Company, but the most significant is gaining a network of theatre professionals available to mentor these young artists as they venture from high school to beyond.
Information about our YAE Apprentice Company Auditions and Interviews will be posted in late January/early February 2025. Check back then for more info! Also if you're not already on our mailing list, please subscribe and follow us on Facebook - ThinkTank Theatre and Instgram - @ThinkTankTYA
