In 1991, The Young Company was conceived by Dr. Stuart Omans and Judith Rubinger as the primary educational branch of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater in partnership with UCF.

In 1997, Richard Width took over the direction of the program and re-structured it into its present format. Now, The Young Company is but one part of the Orlando Shakespeare Theater's answer to our community's growing need for alternative educational programs providing support and challenge in the academic arena.

Servicing local high school youth of economically diverse communities who are predisposed toward the performing arts, The Young Company's staff of professional artists use theater to facilitate the emotional, social, and academic growth of young people.
