Summer is here, and for 25 ASP youth, it is dreamy! Please donate to help make their Midsummer Dreams come true!

Today begins our Summer Youth Intensive (SYI), directed by ASP Company Member and Director of Youth Programs Michael Forden Walker. For the next month, ASP youth will create, design, rehearse, and perform a full-length production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream!

SYI is a life-changing experience for many young people across the city, giving them the opportunity to connect Shakespeare to their everyday lives and become an integral part of a truly collaborative ensemble.

“It feels like this particular program has changed my life and my future. For the first time since starting high school, I am excited about life and I feel motivated and hungry.” – SYI Participant

 Youth programming is expensive, and worth every penny.

ASP has teaching artists, designers, production staff, and support staff on site. We provide our youth with free meals, transportation assistance, and scholarship support so that everyone has access to this incredible program.

You make it happen!

We need to raise $10,000 to support our award-winning youth programming before the end of our fiscal year, July 31! Can you help?

Thank you, and may your summer be dreamy!
