Youth Performance Troupe (YPT)

YPT is an award-winning triple threat program developed by Porch Light Studio in 2009. Members of this one-of-a-kind company are selected by an audition process and receive advanced training in acting, voice & dance under the direction of musical theatre professionals. YPT members also participate in various performance opportunities throughout the season, including original and scripted musical productions, competitions, public appearances and Industry Showcases in NYC and NJ. YPT is a year-long commitment (late August - mid-June) and designed for students with a passion for theatre and performance and interested in a more focused training program.

Private Lessons

Ages 7+. All experience levels.

At Porch Light, our goal is to make our young artists more confident performers by focusing on materials that reflect their personality, setting achievable goals, and inspiring them to take the next step in their creative path. Our private lessons allow students to embrace their talents and overcome challenges in a supportive environment and learning at their own pace. Together, we'll create a customized lesson plan that allows for maximum growth potential and provide encouraging feedback.

In-School Programs

For over 10 years, Porch Light has been partnerning with area schools to provide quality performing arts education throughout Bergen, Essex and the surrounding counties. Our unique approach to theatre education offers students of all experience levels the opportunity to gain confidence and improve social skills while learning the fundamentals of acting, singing and dance.
