CYT@SCHOOL IS COMING SOON TO SCHOOLS NEAR YOU!
MISSION STATEMENT
CYT@school is devoted to introducing performing arts to children, one school at a time, by providing a high-quality experience that is educational and enjoyable.
Many schools have had to cut their arts programs so CYT@school is dedicated to bringing to your school a low-cost, after school program developed to support the performing arts training in public and private schools. Research has shown that performing arts helps students gain confidence, build leadership skills and develop a sense of community. CYT wants to ensure that students everywhere have an opportunity to experience theater arts.
Our program consists of 12 weeks of drama, voice and dance which offer sound theater art instruction while also building character. All participating students will perform in an end-of-session showcase where every student will have plenty of stage time. Our showcases are familiar works that are abridged versions of recognizable family shows. Each student receives a CYT@School t-shirt to wear, along with a costume piece that is provided. Our emphasis is on the experience of learning about performing and then guiding the students to do their best. Our teachers are enthusiastic, fun, positive role models who lead and inspire.
