Brendan got his start on the stage in 4th grade as one of the tailors in The Emperor's New Clothes and acted through the rest of school and college. With three children active in CYT, he is happy to have returned to the stage as the Bank Chairman in CCT's Mary Poppins and a member of Congregation in CCT's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Favorite earlier roles include Tommy Djilas (The Music Man), Chaplain (Mother Courage and her Children), and Ed Carmichael (You Can't Take It With You). He sings Baritone in his church choir, helps with the church children's choir, is a Cub Scout Den Leader, and enjoys seeing his children grow in Christ and in confidence at CYT.
I have been a part of CYT since 2010 when my daughter joined this wonderful organization. She is now all grown up with kids of her own and I'm so happy to still be with CYT! I have a Bachelor's Degree in Music in Therapy from Sam Houston State University and I LOVE to sing! During the past 10 years I have been honored to serve at CYT in the capacity of Costumer, Teacher, Director, Vocal Director, Tour Group Director, Show Coordinator, and CYT@school Coordinator. I'm so blessed that God has given me the opportunity to work with so many talented individuals and to share His love with others through CYT!
Hello hello! My name is Emily Harris and I am very honored to be teaching at CYT Houston! I found my love for theater early when I participated in my first school play at 9 years old. I started taking theater classes in 7th grade and haven’t looked back since. My CYT journey began in 2016 with the Lion King summer camp, and since then have been in two summer stocks, one CCT show, 18 CYT classes and 12 CYT shows! I am very blessed to come back as an alumni and teach at the place that has taught me so much, and grateful that God has given me the opportunity to teach CYT students.
I love all things dance, but my favorite is tap and ballet. I trained with many dance studios in Louisiana while growing up, and was on pointe by the early age of 9. I was captain of my high school dance line and was on our college dance line at Northwestern State University. I have been a dance instructor for many years. One of the most rewarding parts of being a dance teacher is watching a student go through the process from frustration to delight in learning a new skill. I also hold a certificate in Rhythm Works Integrative Dance that allows me to teach dance skills to children and adults with developmental disabilities. I love to vacation in the mountains of Colorado, and spend time with family. A fun fact about me is that I carried the Olympic torch in 1984 on horseback.
Hailey began her theatre journey as a CYT student in 2015, first appearing in the ensemble of Beauty and the Beast Jr. This began a lifelong passion for theatre, and she went on to earn her Bachelor of Music in Musical Theatre from the University of Central Oklahoma. Hailey now works professionally as an actor and theatre educator in the Houston area, and is so excited to be teaching the next generation of CYT students!
Hannah Yeates has been a part of CYT since 2013 when she began performing and training in voice and acting. Since graduating, she has had the pleasure of working as an intern for CCT shows such as Beauty and the Beast and Hello, Dolly!. She is currently studying Music at Abilene Christian University and has been performing as a member of ACU's Opera Workshop and Choirs. Hannah continues to enjoy being involved in community theater, teaching kids, and encouraging them to find passion in the arts and themselves.
Hannah Cook has been teaching for two years. She has been in many shows with Lonestar Montgomery, CCT, and The Players Company. Hannah has been dancing for about ten years at various studios in the DFW and Houston area. She has studied dance at Lonestar Montgomery and is transferring to University of Houston to continue her studies. Whenever she is not on stage or in the dance studio, she enjoys drinking coffee while curled up with a good book.
Hi, I'm Julia! I'm a CYT alum who loved CYT so much, I had to come back and be a part of this amazing group again! I'm so excited to be teaching drama this semester. Since aging out of CYT I earned my bachelors degree in Visual Development for Film and Animation, and I had a little girl named Jessie who is almost two now! For fun, I love baking, painting, and exploring new parks with Jessie. :)
I am blessed to teach Our Gang for CYT Houston East. I am a child of God, mother of three beautiful girls and wife to Aaron. I have spent my childhood singing, dancing and performing in school and church productions. At an early age, I knew that I was called to work with children. I earned a B.A. in Human Development and Family Studies, a M.A. in Psychology, and am a Certified Family Life Educator (CFLE). I have also previously worked as an elementary school teacher. It is my goal to teach with a loving heart, inspire creativity and encourage children to reach their full potential.
Howdy! I’m Morgan and am thrilled to be teaching classes for CYT! I’ve participated in dance, to include ballet, tap, jazz and partner dancing, since the age of 4 and in musical theater productions since the age of 12. I found my real theater family after moving to Texas my freshman year of high school and joining CYT where I participated in 17 productions throughout high school. My hope is that all students at CYT will be blessed with the same joy, friendships, love of theater and growth in faith that I’ve experienced here!
Nate Clark has been involved in theater for most of his life, performing with CYT Houston primarily. He had the opportunity to play roles such as Aladdin, in Aladdin Jr., Baron Bomburst, in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and Clayton, in Tarzan. In high school, Nate took an additional interest in set work and volunteering backstage. He pursued his undergraduate education at UT, studying drawing, sculpture, and digital media, while coming back to Houston in the summers to teach CYT’s Backstage Ninjas camp. Nate graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts, having constructed an 8’ tall interactive steel robot sculpture for his senior thesis project. Since then he attended a semester of welding at TSTC, and currently works full-time in construction.
Paula-Beth is so grateful the Lord led her family to CYT! She became involved in the arts as a young child, and being deeply impacted by the teachers in her life, Paula-Beth knew from an early age she wanted to be able to share her love and knowledge of music with others. Before relocating to the Houston area, Paula-Beth served as the Vocal Director for Stars Theater Company in Bedford. She has also directed children’s choirs throughout Texas and Illinois, has over 25 years experience as a private music teacher, and holds a BA in Music with an emphasis in Piano Performance. Her focus on musical instruction is to encourage students to reach their highest potential in a fun and energetic environment while learning they're never too young to use their gifts for God's glory. While she loves performing on stage, her favorite roles in life are that of wife and mom. She serves alongside her husband in ministry, and all four of their kids are involved in CYT. Paula-Beth is thankful for the outlet that CYT provides her to be able to combine her love for the Lord with her passion for the arts.
I have an Masters of Arts in Speech Communication and Theatre from Arkansas State University. I have been a part of many theatre productions but my favorite roles were Gwendolyn in The Importance of Being Earnest, Babe in Crimes of the Heart and Luciana in Boys from Syracuse. I am excited to share my love of theatre with my four children and all the children in CYT.
Victoria Tonsfeldt is a vocal performance major at Sam Houston State University, with a deep passion for training young singers to learn a variety of vocal styles, all while maintaining excellent vocal health. She began arts training at a very young age, performing in summer stock musicals, school and church theatrical productions, singing in choirs, and taking voice and piano lessons. Victoria has competed and been awarded in many voice and opera competitions, such as Texoma NATS, Greater Houston NATS, The NOA Robert Hansen Scenes Competition, and SHSU Art Song Festival and Contest. She sang for four years with her University Chorale and Opera Theatre, with which she performed various operas, scenes and musical theatre numbers. She also sings on a worship team and in the church choir. Victoria is thrilled to finally start teaching at CYT, which she has considered a second home since she performed in the CCT Houston production of Beauty and the Beast. She has performed in every CCT Houston production since 2020, and recently began working on CYT artistic teams. She wants every child she teaches to know they were made perfectly by their Creator, and that the best thing they can learn is to praise Him boldly with their own unique voice.
Zoe has been captivated by live theater since she was a young patron. In 2018, she moved from the audience to performing on stage. Since then she has been a part of over fifteen productions with local theaters including C.Y.T, N.Y.T, and Class Act Productions. Her favorite roles include GUYS & DOLLS (Vernon & Havana Dancer), WHITE CHRISTMAS (Rhoda), ANYTHING GOES (Purity & Featured tapper), and THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (Gypsy, Soloist, & Citizen of Paris). When she is not on stage performing you can find her teaching kindergarten at Holy House Academy in Houston. She is thrilled to have this opportunity to inspire the next generation of young performers! In all you do give glory to God!
