Level up YPAS productions with a new welder! Not only will an up-to-date welder allow YPAS Design and Production (D&P) students to “lay that perfect bead,” it will also increase our design possibilities.
Having current tools is essential to developing high-caliber technical theater professionals who are ready for the workforce!
YPAS D&P students are enrolled in a 4-year pre-professional program. Our curriculum in stagecraft, costuming, drafting, media (and more!) prepares them to become the theatre technicians of the future. Your donation will supplement the 20 hours per week D&P students donate to bring YPAS productions to life.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
