Mission Statement

Christian Youth Theater develops character and creativity through quality theater arts training that brings families and communities together while reflecting Jesus.

Our Triple Threat

 

Culture: Our culture is vibrant, imaginative, inclusive, and uplifting. Though CYT may not be for everyone, everyone is invited and all are welcome.

Craft: We produce quality productions, classes, and camps holding a high standard of excellence in everything that we do.

Character: We look to the person of Jesus Christ as the perfect and ultimate example of character.  At CYT we want to grow in Christ-like character through all we do.  This is our foundation as an organization.

Something For Everyone

CYT offers classes for students ages 4-18 throughout the school year. Classes include drama, voice, dance, and behind-the-scenes training in makeup, costumes, tech, and more. Classes are held for two hours once a week and run for ten consecutive weeks in Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions. Class sizes are small and offer supervision both inside and outside the classroom. Each session culminates in a high-energy showcase to demonstrate to family, friends, and fellow students the skills acquired.
Learn About Classes!

"I appreciate my daughter having an opportunity to explore the arts through a Christian worldview. It is a safe place for her to learn about & express who she is without pressure to socially compromise. We find the offerings to be vast, but this breadth doesn’t diminish the depth of the class or the detail & skill the kids learn." - Kayla Proano

"Seeing leaders help influence our girls in ways we sometimes can’t as their parents. It is so important to us to have a place like CYT where we know there are leaders who love the Lord and love our girls." - Kevin Huff
