Thirty years.
One community.

Attleboro’s youth theatre — built for young people, led by professionals.

Who we are

Our actors own the stage

Our Mission

Fostering cultural enrichment, personal growth, and artistic excellence.

Triboro Youth Theatre is a dynamic performing arts organization dedicated to fostering cultural enrichment, personal growth, and artistic excellence among young individuals through immersive experiences, professional collaboration, and inclusive productions.

Our Vision

Where every young performer discovers what they’re truly capable of.

To be the defining youth theatre experience in southeastern Massachusetts — where professional standards meet radical inclusion, and every young performer discovers what they’re truly capable of.

Since 1996

Thirty years of giving young people a stage

For 30 years, Triboro Youth Theatre has given young performers in southeastern Massachusetts a stage that’s truly theirs. From first-time performers in kindergarten to seasoned seniors in high school, TYT is where young people discover what they’re capable of.

Founded in 1996, TYT has grown into one of the area’s most respected youth performing arts organizations — producing over 225 full-scale productions and introducing thousands of young people to the transformative power of live theatre.

The TYT Promise

“Every actor who registers gets a role.”

Auditions determine placement only — no one is ever cut. Scholarships are available based on financial need, because no young person should be kept off the stage for financial reasons.

🤝
Financial Assistance & Card to Culture
Financial need should never be a barrier to participation. Need-based financial aid is available on a first-come, first-served basis as the budget allows — larger awards are available based on individual need.
We are proud to participate in the Massachusetts Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance, the Department of Public Health’s WIC Nutrition Program, the Massachusetts Health Connector, and hundreds of partner organizations. Eligible families automatically qualify for 50% tuition assistance.
Eligible participants should email admin@triboroyouththeatre.org for details. See the complete list of participating organizations offering discounts:
