Texas Theatre for Young People exists to provide professional level training and performance opportunities to young people.  Founded in April of 2016 by Joe Sturgeon and Jeremy Blaido, the theatre has been enabled to grow steadily because of the generosity of EA Young Academy who has provided the theatre with free space for classes and performances.
