Broadway Theater International (BTI) has opened registration for its 2026 summer camps. As with last year, there will be two back-to-back weeks in the Vosges. Campers are invited to sign up for either one week or both, as there will be different programs each week (July 5-11 and/or July 12-18). The camps are a great opportunity to spend a week doing theater, music and dance and to increase your skills and confidence. Each session culminates in a public performance in a real theater.

Announcing our Alumni show 2026! YATS is excited to invite alumni to take part in an intensive musical theater project this Summer (like Assassins, Into the Woods, and Spring Awakening). This project is open to YATS alumni who will have graduated high school by July 2026 and who have been involved in a previous YATS show within the past 7 years.  Dates are 19 July- 2 August 2026 (performances included). Rehearsals will take place every day in the afternoons and evenings in Strasbourg. Because of the short rehearsal period, participants must arrive at the first rehearsal fully memorized.  We will select the show based on who is available. The show will have a smaller cast size, so, depending on the level of interest, everyone may not be cast. If you…

YATS is thrilled to announce that this year’s Fall Musical will be The Music Man. One of Broadway’s most beloved classics, The Music Man tells the story of fast-talking salesman Harold Hill, who arrives in small-town Iowa determined to swindle the locals by selling them band instruments and uniforms for a band he has no intention of forming. His plans are complicated when he falls for Marian, the town’s sharp-witted librarian. Packed with unforgettable songs such as “Seventy-Six Trombones,” “Trouble,” and “Till There Was You,” this heartwarming show celebrates community spirit, romance, and the transformative power of music. We are delighted to return to Le Point d’Eau in Ostwald. This wonderful venue has been home to many of our most memorable productions, and we can’t…
