Youth Theatre Northwest

Our Mission:

Youth Theatre Northwest nurtures the intellectual, artistic, and personal development of children and youth through drama education, performing opportunities, and live theatre experiences.

Our Work:

Youth Theatre Northwest is a school, theatre, and home for children and families. At Youth Theatre Northwest, children and young adults explore the depths of their creativity and experience the thrill of live performance. Through the magic of theatre, YTN helps young people find their "inner light" of self-confidence, sensitivity, creativity, and leadership.

Since 1984, YTN has been one of the region's premier educational arts organizations, providing a wide range of programming for tens of thousands of children and young adults ages 3 to 18 who come to YTN from throughout the Puget Sound region. Located on Mercer Island, YTN offers year-round classes and produces 12 professional shows per year for thousands of audience members. YTN's staff consists of professional educators and working artists, and our curriculums align with Washington State educational learning requirements and professional artistic standards. For many of our young students and audiences, YTN is their first exposure to the performing arts. Youth Theatre Northwest is a tax exempt, 501 (c) 3 organization and incorporated in the State of Washington as a not for profit.
