Get ready for amazing Vocals, Dance, Bands, Instrumentals and Drama performed in a showcase of the best young talent that the Central Coast has to offer.

Since 1992, Youth In Performing Arts (YIPA) has been a beacon on the Central Coast, hosting annual variety concerts in May at Laycock Street Community Theatre. YIPA provides a unique bridge between exceptional youth talent and the broader community, creating a space where diverse abilities are celebrated and appreciated.

The YIPA team have auditioned over 400 performance items and selected some exceptional talent for you to witness. There will be four YIPA variety concerts and each concert is completely different to the next. There definitely is something for everyone. 

For the youth of the Central Coast, YIPA is an important opportunity to perform in a professional venue, Laycock Street Community Theatre. Along the way these young performers receive support and guidance from adults with extensive experience in the performing arts. Many friendships are created back stage as these young performers meet like-minded performers with a passion for the performing arts.
