Overview

Mission

Christian Youth Theater develops character and creativity in kids of all ages through quality theater arts training that brings families and communities together while reflecting the Creator.

What it reported doing in 2019

CYT Seattle produces three Broadway style productions each year - Winter, Spring and Fall. Productions are open to the public and students participating in our theater education classes are eligible to participate on stage and backstage. Each session CYT Seattle has 40-60 students enrolled in classes and 25-35 students participating in our productions. In addition to productions and classes, each summer we offer three weeks of theater day camp. Participants age 5-18 attend a week of camp, culminating in a showcase at the end of the week. Camp enrollment is typically between 25-40 students
