Why join YEP?
You might be interested in the arts or maybe you are creative and still figuring out what you want to do. You could have experience in creating theatre or perhaps just want to try something new. If you’re a committed and passionate individual, have heaps of curious creativity and are willing, then we’d love to welcome you!

YEP is a place for you to find your voice and make work that reflects the world we live in.
You’ll come together as part of a community of young people, where you can:
•    Develop confidence in your skills and yourself.
•    Learn new skills and discover new interests.
•    Be in a judgement free zone.
•    Meet new people and open up opportunities for what you deserve to experience. 
•    Have a sense of belonging and identity.
•    Create a network of people like you.

Where does YEP meet?
There’s a dedicated space for young people in EV1 at the Everyman Theatre. EV1 is a studio theatre/rehearsal room with a Green Room (kitchen/hang-out space) and a breakout space for you to catch up with our Young People's Advocate to set your goals and search for other opportunities. Some sessions also take place in our Writers' Room and meeting rooms.

Does its cost anything to be part of YEP?
It is free! We have no fees, although as a registered charity donations are welcome!
