Young Artists Ensemble

 

The Young Artists Ensemble (YAE), founded in 1981, began as a small group with limited resources performing in a local park. Today, it produces an annual Family Theatre Season, Hillcrest Players, Teen Drama, and Teen Summer Musical, garnering praise for its high-quality productions. YAE has instilled a love for the arts in Conejo Valley youth, providing hundreds of kids, ages 7-19, with opportunities to perform in both well-known and world-premier plays and musicals, reaching thousands of local theatre-goers each year.
