"The Young Artist Project will make it possible for young people to have their visions come to life in a major Southland venue," said Steve Cisneros, founder and Producing Artistic Director of Phantom Projects Theatre Group. "They will contribute to a performance that is completely written, created and performed by some of Southern California's brightest young artists. 

It should be as exciting for the audience at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts as it will be for these future stars to test their talents. Because it is a fluid rehearsal project, as much for development and encouragement of the talent as to prepare for a specific performance, the great benefit for the participants will be the emersion into a 'real working environment' like they will eventually experience at a professional theatre," said Cisneros. "We are also optimistic that we will forge relationships with new collaborators who will play a part in our regular season productions and tours to schools." 

Each year, Phantom Projects Theatre Group mounts a season of plays at the La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and touring productions to middle and high schools in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
