WBTT created the Young Artist Program to provide talented young performers an opportunity to showcase their talents on our MainStage in their own production. The Young Artist Program has featured such WBTT favorites as Ariel Blue (pictured above in her 2016 Young Artist Program), Victoria Byrd, Michael Mendez, Leon Pitts, Neyce Pierre and Earley Dean.
The artists learn the entire process of show production from finding a band, hiring co-performers if desired, and arranging for lighting and sound assistance to marketing and publicizing their show. Throughout the process they are mentored by Mr. Nate Jacobs and the WBTT production staff.
These performances offer audiences a chance to get to know some of their favorite developing performers from our MainStage on a more personal level before they go on to professional careers.
