We are SO proud of our student @amarech_sings for her INCREDIBLE performance at @bwayandvine with THE @arianadebose ! DeBose said on her instagram “one of the many highlights was sharing the stage with Amarech & y’all this young queen is SPECTACULAR! 18 years old and the sky’s the limit for her” we couldn’t agree more. Not only is Amarech talented, but she is also kind, patient, hard working, and treats everyone with nothing but respect and grace. We are so proud of you girl! Swipe for a video of Amarech singing for our “Best of the Best” show

Introducing the cast of the Young Conservatory's production of Twelfth Night!
Named one of the best theatrical productions of 2018 by Time, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Washington Post, Twelfth Night is a rousing contemporary musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy about mistaken identity and self-discovery.
Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, a young heroine who washes up on the shores of Illyria, disguises herself as a man, is sent to court a countess and falls hard for a Duke. As she navigates this strange and wonderful new land, she finds her true self and true love in the process.
Featuring an original jazz-funk score by Shaina Taub, Twelfth Night is perfect for the whole family! See these young stars shine at the Strand Theater in August. Tickets available on our website now at act-sf.org/twelfthnight
