Youth. Passion. Showcase. of the Performing Arts is a multi-city talent showcase inspired and organized by students. YPS. and its members
are committed to fulfilling the purpose of showcasing youth talent and passion for the stage. Through the actions of the group, YPS. will
give youth an opportunity to debut in the community and immerse themselves in the world of performance.

Last year, the very first year, YPS showcased talented youths from Guelph, Toronto, and Mississauga/Etobicoke on March 27th at Cawthra Park High School.

Here in YPS. Performing Arts,

• We believe that youth are an integral part of the artistic community, and have inherent rights and responsibilities.
• We believe that youth are able to make positive contributions to the aritistic community.
• We believe that an investment in young people is an investment in the future of performance.
• We believe that there is strength in artistic youth diversity and that all youth bring with them a unique and valuable talent.
• We believe that youth should be encouraged and given the opportunity to display their passions and talents on stage; and that youth should be regarded as respected artists.

YPS. Performing Arts, is founded

• To facilitate and forge strong connections between youth in the community and the artistic community.
