Pull-Tight’s Junior Youth Actors Guild (Jr. YAG), in its 39th year, meets on the third Saturday morning of each month during the school year. Meetings are free.
Children can see the theater in all stages of a main stage production, including backstage, while building their stage confidence with theater activities and skits. Touring backstage while a show is in production is a theatrical education in itself.
We encourage children to attend plays and audition for appropriate roles when they come along, at Pull-Tight and other local theatres. During meetings, children have as many impromptu performing opportunities as possible with theatre activities, games, and skits, which helps to build stage confidence.
Former Jr.YAG member Stephanie Jones first came to the program as a shy seven-year-old. She has gone on to star in mainstage productions like Spamalot! and Guys and Dolls.
