RYC – Randolph Young Company is Toronto’s only performance program for kids aged 8-19 currently training in the performing arts. A program of the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts, RYC provides the opportunity for dedicated young performers to immerse themselves in a professional theatre setting, honing their musical theatre skills and learning the disciplines that will make them well-rounded Triple Threat performers. The intensive 10-week rehearsal period culminates in a professionally produced musical with an extended run of performances in the historic Bathurst Street Theatre.
