About Touring Ensemble & TE Youth Company:
This dedicated company of performers showcases their talents year-round at a variety of events held in the Richmond Community. Ensemble members participate in weekly rehearsals consisting of training in theatre, music, and dance. The SPARC Touring Ensembles gain experience performing in dynamic settings, building the adaptability and composure necessary for live, public performance.
NEW for Fall 2025, Touring Ensemble: Youth Company! SPARC is thrilled to launch a new, year-long opportunity designed specifically for middle schoolers: Touring Ensemble: Youth Company. Inspired by the success of our high school Touring Ensemble model, this audition-based group will bring together passionate and dedicated young musical theatre performers from across the Richmond area.
