Creating a safe space for triangle young people to explore the joy of theater for 35 years!

Young People’s Performing Company is a safe space for students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin or gender identity to have a meaningful experience in the theatrical and dramatic arts. It is not our mission to produce the most technically impressive performances, but to ensure that any young person who wants it can have the experience of being on stage.

For more than 35 years, YPPC has created a unique theatrical home for thousands of young people and has been graciously granted the class, rehearsal and performance space to do so by the Durham Arts Council building at 120 Morris St. in downtown Durham N.C.
