“Odyssey Theatre’s Youth Program was such an amazing experience and has been a huge milestone in my career as an artist. Not only did it teach me valuable skills in all aspects of theatre but it also helped me create relationships that I will have with me for the rest of my life....You’ll spend the summer learning, working hard, and having so much fun!” - Former Odyssey Youth Apprentice
