The Young Actors Guild was founded in the Spring of 2009 to bring a comprehensive and affordable theatre experience to the young people of Collin County and the surrounding area. YAG offers workshops on a twice-monthly basis, covering a broad range of theatre-related topics from character work to lighting design. YAG also puts on five productions every year, which reflect many different types of theatre. Perhaps most uniquely, YAG offers young people a chance to get involved in the leadership and operation of the organization with its annually-elected Youth Board, which is responsible for managing most day-to-day goings-on with the assistance and guidance of the Adult Board.
