YEAA (Young Emerging Actors Assembly)
Who we are
The Young Emerging Actors Assembly (YEAA) is a committee of ACTRA Toronto performers who play between the ages of 17 and 30. YEAA unites young talent in Toronto’s screen-based entertainment industry. Together, we forge a powerful community for networking and sharing resources, and stand out as a fresh new voice promoting Toronto’s rising stars and a Canadian star system. To become a YEAA member, you should be a Full ACTRA Toronto member or ACTRA Toronto Apprentice who plays between the ages of 17-30.
