Halfpenny Youth Theatre – Inspiring Young Performers, Building Community
At Halfpenny Youth Theatre in Payson, Utah, we believe theatre has the power to spark imagination, build confidence, and create lasting friendships. As a family-owned theatre company, our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality theatre education and experiences for children and teens of all backgrounds and skill levels.
Each season begins in September and culminates with exciting performances in May, showcasing the incredible talent and growth of our young actors. In addition to our main productions, we also offer engaging summer camps designed to introduce new students to theatre while helping returning performers refine their skills. These camps combine learning, creativity, and fun, making them a favorite summer tradition for many families.
What makes Halfpenny Youth Theatre unique is our focus on community and mentorship. We encourage not only actors, but also parents and local supporters, to get involved—whether as volunteers, sponsors, or enthusiastic audience members. Together, we create a welcoming environment where young performers can take bold risks, explore their creativity, and experience the joy of live performance.
From the first rehearsal to the final bow, students at Halfpenny Youth Theatre discover more than just stage skills—they build confidence, teamwork, and a lifelong love of the arts.
Whether you’re a budding actor, a proud parent, or a community member looking to support local theatre, we invite you to join us. Together, let’s keep the magic of theatre alive.
