In our second year, Christian Youth Theater New York City (CYT NYC) has continued to grow and attract families who are committed to CYTs mission and who are pleased and encouraged by the growth they see in all our CYT students. CYT is dedicated to developing character in children and adults through training in the arts and by producing wholesome family entertainment, all of which reflect Judeo-Christian values. We invest in every student to help develop their theater arts skill set with an aim towards excellence, while striving to develop their character by emphasizing and applying biblical principles and commands. CYT NYC seeks to glorify God in all our efforts both onstage and behind the scenes. The result is a joy-filled, productive environment, which encourages personal growth and confidence while maintaining a proper humility and service toward God and others. In our second year, CYT served over 150 students ages 5-18 throughout multiple programs in in New York City and Northern NJ. Students participated in CYT through open classes, which offer a variety of training classes divided by age group, as well as several CYT@school after school programs where a qualified CYT teacher traveled to a particular school. In the Winter 2013 session, our NYC class location moved to the historic First Baptist Church NYC on the Upper West Side, where our enrollment immediately tripled! In June 2013, CYT NYC produced our first full-length stage musical, Youre A Good Man, Charlie Brown, in an Off Broadway theater near Times Square, featuring students from both NYC and NJ. The show was a hit and students rose to the challenge of performing in a professional environment just steps away from Broadway. CYT is unique in that parents help to run the show, performing tasks on a variety of committees (ie. costume, crew, concessions, PR, etc), working together to create a family-centered, supportive atmosphere. Feedback suggests that many of the parents enjoyed their roles backstage just as much as the kids enjoyed their roles onstage! NYC also partnered with St. Francis Food Pantries to sponsor over 100 underprivileged students and families to see the show. The website photo gallery shows highlights from this production. cytnyc.org. In addition, one of our CYT@school programs worked toward a full-length production of Robin Hood at the end of 2 class sessions. CYT worked with cast members on 2 different campuses (grades K-8), who eventually came together to perform 2 shows - one for friends and family and one for fellow classmates. Class sessions which do not focus on a full-scale musical production culminate in a Showcase performance on the last week of the session. This provides an opportunity for students to share what they have learned with friends and family as well as gain important performance experience. CYT teaches skills in music, dance and acting, as well as the integration of all 3. Skills include: improvisation, creating dynamic characters, storytelling, memorizing lines and stage directions, audition technique, musical theater dance technique, choreography, musicianship, solo and group singing, harmonies, and more - overall, performing with confidence and energy, with a team-oriented, mutually supportive focus! Open classes always begin with a time where all students (ages 5-18) pray together, work on a group dance number and engage in various team activities, integrating the various age groups. This encourages growth among the younger students and leadership among the older students. There is a biblical theme selected for each session, which is reinforced during the opening segment through the song selection and other activities. Students may also memorize hand-selected Scripture verses (optional) throughout the course of the session, which support the session theme, and they are rewarded for their additional efforts. Each session, CYT offers a handful of work/ study based scholarships, where the students family pays 50% tuition and the student assists with support tasks before and after class. We have consistently had generous donors support our scholarship program to enable several families to participate in CYT each session that would be unable to do so otherwise. CYT is a growing organization that currently relies on donations to help support administrative and overhead costs. CYT NYC does not actively engage in soliciting donations, but rather actively trusts in Gods ongoing provision, which has included monetary donations, gifts in kind including donated services (i.e. free storage space, Lighting Design, etc.) and a generous staff who gives above and beyond their salaries to invest in CYT students and families.
