About
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 nine 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.
Parents send their children to CYT classes to learn, and that’s exactly what they will do! At the end of a CYT session, your student will come away with a new or improved skill in the area of emphasis. During the last week of class, a high-energy Showcase is presented by each class to show other students, family, and friends all they’ve learned.
Tuition for most classes is $200. Multiple discount registrations for families will apply ($10 off second enrollment, third enrollment and all subsequent enrollments) when registering for classes unless there is an early bird discount being offered.
Refund policy - A $25.00 processing fee will applied to class refunds requested at least 2 weeks prior to the first night class. No refunds will be given for requests made closer that 2 weeks to the first night. Being registered in a class is required for auditioning for a show. If a student auditions for a show, there will be no refund given for their class, even if the request is made more than 2 weeks before the first night of class.
NOTE: You must be enrolled in a CYT class and between the ages of 8- 18yrs old in order to be eligible to audition for a show. We try not to cut, but in the case where a student auditions for a show and they are cut from the production, they can go audition for another show in one of our other areas. CYT now has the option to enroll in classes in one area and audition for a show in another area. However, if you decide to choose this option please be aware there may be some overlapping dates, especially in the area of showcase. For example, your class showcase could be scheduled the same week as your tech rehearsal so therefore you would not be able to participate in the showcase. Please be sure to check the online calendar for any conflicts before registering. There is no way to avoid these schedule conflicts with multiple areas as we must structure our schedules around open venue dates.
*Class attendance is mandatory because we are an educational 501(c)3. Students who miss 3 classes in one session will have to be removed from the class and any production they may be cast in for that session. There will be no refunds for classes or production fees if a student is removed due to absences.
