The Robert C. Yoh Mission

The Yoh Theatre Players are a product of education in its purist form. They are students on the Woodstock Union High campus who are committed to the active study of theatre a personal experience, a craft, an art form, a commentary on society, a reflection of humanity's spirit, and the gift of their own talents to both school and community.

The Yoh Theatre players are named in honor of Robert C. Yoh. Mr. Yoh was a creative WUHS history teacher who not only understood the importance of integrating the arts into the lives of his students, he actively and valiantly promoted it. It is our pleasure to continue his tradition in both name and spirit.

The Yoh Theatre Program actively advances the philosophy that natural highs are the better part of life. We embrace the substance abuse school policy of no tolerance.

The Yoh Theatre Players

The Yoh Theatre Players were once called the WUHS Drama Club. In 1991, the name was changed to honor Robert Yoh, a beloved WUHS teacher. Under the direction of Harriet Worrell since 1989, the YTP’s origins began with a fall show, a spring musical and a spring competition one-act. The program has grown to produce an annual serious season of work that includes three main stage productions, multiple Speakchorus performances, a Speakchorus in Concert, a middle school production, a summer Yoh Junior production, and often a YTP summer show.

The YTP philosophy is to provide students and community with a wide variety of productions from various genres. In a four to six year career on the WUMS-HS campus, students should have opportunity to see or participate in extraordinary works from drawn from the greater body of recognized international dramatic literature.

The YTP feels enormous responsibility to individual and ensemble talent, the playwright, the audience, and to the art form.
