Algonquin Youth Ensemble

About the Program

An extension of the Performing Arts Academy (PAA), Algonquin Youth Ensemble (AYE) is a competitive program through which students may audition for Broadway Series productions. If cast, an AYE student will be enrolled in theatre classes that run in conjunction with the rehearsal period of the show. AYE students will practice skills and explore concepts in class that they directly apply to their performance on the stage.

How to Get Involved

Audition information can be found here.

*Please note: not every Broadway Series show is an AYE production; AYE productions will have their own teaching artist assigned and will have accompanying classes as noted on the audition application.
