Discover Que Blackout

TECHNICAL THEATER IS AT OUR CORE.

Que Blackout Youth Theater is a youth-centered creative arts program rooted in technical theater. We introduce young people to the creative and behind-the-scenes work that brings productions to life, while offering opportunities to explore acting, dance, singing, and media arts.

Because creating something meaningful takes more than what's seen onstage.


From backstage to center stage. 

MORE THAN A THEATER PROGRAM.


Que Blackout Youth Theater is a creative space where young people can try things, build skills, meet people, and create something they're proud of.

You don't have to be the best. You just have to be willing to try.


At Que Blackout, you can find your place onstage, backstage, behind the camera, or behind the scenes.

MORE THAN THE SHOW

Unleash Your Creativity.

TECHNICAL THEATER

Make the show happen.

Learn lighting, sound, stage management, sets, props, costumes, and backstage production.

Perfect for people who'd rather run the show than be in the spotlight.


DRAMA LAB

Act. Improvise. Tell stories.

Build confidence, explore characters, work on scenes, and have fun.

You don't have to be a "theater kid."


MEDIA ARTS

Create instead of just scrolling.

Explore photography, video, podcasting, graphic design, and digital storytelling.

Bring your ideas. We'll help you turn them into something real.


VOCAL LAB

Find your sound.

Build your vocal skills through technique, breath control, pitch, tone, and performance exercises. Discover your voice, strengthen your technique, and grow your confidence.

You don't have to be an experienced singer to get started.


DANCE LAB

Find your rhythm.

Build a strong dance foundation while exploring different styles, choreography, rhythm, and movement. Whether you're new to dance or have experience, there's always room to strengthen your technique and grow.

Come curious, try something new, and find your rhythm.

NO SCRIPT. JUST THEM.
