The Acting Out Youth Company Program is a vital part of the Lewiston Civic Theatre and serves as a beacon of creativity and growth for young performers. As the cornerstone of our educational outreach, the program nurtures a strong foundation of future main stage talent.

Designed for children ages 8 to 17, the program offers both school-year and summer sessions that provide a safe, supportive environment for students to explore the theatrical arts. Through structured curriculum and culminating performances, participants are encouraged to discover their creative voices, develop performance and technical skills, build self-confidence, and form lasting connections with their peers.

Each summer, the Acting Out Youth Company engages more than 100 students in all aspects of theatre—from acting and singing to backstage and production roles. Past productions include Newsies Jr., Matilda Jr., Shrek Jr., and most recently, Frozen Jr.
