Auditions

Welcome to the NEW Ensemble Program at Rainbow Company Conservatory!

For more than 50 years, Rainbow Company Youth Theatre has helped young artists grow, create and perform.

Now, we’re introducing the next generation of advanced training through the Rainbow Company Conservatory Ensemble Program.

This is more than just taking another class. Ensemble students collaborate on real projects, develop leadership skills, create original work and train alongside other dedicated young artists, all under the guidance of experienced professionals.

The Ensemble Program is designed for students ages 10–18 who are ready for commitment, growth and the opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Students focus their training in one of three tracks:

Performance
Film Production
Technical Theatre

Applications, interviews and auditions are required for acceptance into the program.

Once accepted, students remain in the Ensemble Program until they age out or decide to leave, making this a long-term artistic home for passionate performers, filmmakers and technicians.

Whether you dream of performing on stage, creating films behind the camera, or bringing productions to life through technical theatre, the Rainbow Company Conservatory Ensemble Program is built to help you grow.

Training and performances are located at Charleston Heights Arts Center, 800 Brush St. in Las Vegas.
