On July 26, 2026, the members of the DiRT & Glitter Youth Performance Company (a paid internship for local youth ages 14-24) put on two performances featuring original works they created alongside mentorship from professional performers.

Local youth artists contributed installation art to the production, pieces which were created through several months of visual art classes from local artist Jessica Cherry.

The production was free and open to the community, thanks to the generous support of the Yurok Tribe’s Klamath Neighborhood Promise Initiative.
