Introducing Fall 2020 Studio Tracks!

We are excited to present semester-based theatre classes in our new CYT KC Studio Tracks! Some classes will be held at the CYT Studios, and others will be virtual.
 
We have four tracks for theatre training for Fall 2020: 
  • NEW! Master Voice Track - Students ages 11-18
    • The CYT Master Voice Track is a new opportunity for students to take a private voice lesson with one of our highly trained instructors (Click HERE to see the instructors)! Each student will take private bi-weekly Zoom lessons over a 12-week semester, with a total of 6 hours of private vocal instruction. We’ll work on breathing technique, intonation, placement, and so much more. In addition, all the CYT Master Voice Track students will meet twice a month on Sunday's at the CYT Studios to have “Studio Hour.” In this time, each student will have the opportunity to perform a lesson piece for the combined studio. After their “Studio Hour” performance, each student will receive feedback and constructive criticism from an instructor other than their normally assigned instructor. This time will allow learning from each other as a group and from multiple instructors. At the end of the semester, each student will perform one of their lesson pieces in a live-streamed recital. Participation in the CYT Master Voice Track will qualify students to participate in a fall production. Note: The CYT Master Voice Track will be capped at 20 students this semester to ensure that social distancing can be maintained at the CYT Studios. 
  • Workshop Member Track - Students ages 11-18
    • Our workshop track offers flexibility for students to explore different types of training and take classes offered at different times throughout the session

HEART Program

The HEART (Helping to Encourage Awareness and Recognition in Theater) program is a full inclusion program that provides individuals with special needs the opportunity to participate in classes, shows and camps. 

Tuition is waived for HEART students registering for classes and summer camps for the first time. HEART students are also encouraged to audition for and participate in CYT's Broadway-style musicals. CYT is a supportive environment encouraging awareness and learning for all participants.
