Thinking about signing your child up for Summer Youth Theatre? That’s exciting! Here are a few things you need to know about the program.
Summer Youth Theatre (SYT) is a big commitment. We rehearse mornings all of June and July. Our attendance policy does not allow participants to miss more than 4 rehearsals total, and after July 4th, participants can only miss one practice. Additionally, families should be available to donate two hours of volunteer time for things like costumes or taking tickets. Check out our calendar to make sure it works for your family.
Our program is designed to help performers grow into confident, kind, and collaborative individuals. We focus on building self-esteem, encouraging creativity, and fostering meaningful friendships through ensemble-based theatre. It’s a great fit for kids who are excited to be part of a team, try new things, and have fun—not just those looking for the spotlight.
To ensure a positive experience for everyone, we do have clear expectations around behavior. Rehearsals are structured, purposeful, and focused on growth. This is not a drop-off or babysitting program—students are expected to come ready to listen, participate, and treat others with kindness and respect. If a participant is consistently unable to meet those expectations, they may not be invited back to the program in the future.
We cap participation at 50 individuals. Once in the program, no one will get cut due to ability. However, when registering we can only accept 50 kids. Registration will be open for 24 hours. Some years, we have had enough spaces for anyone interested, and some years, we have had to turn away participants. It can be helpful for participants to have an expectation that they might not get in.
If our program's values and schedule align with yours, be sure to mark your calendar for Registration Day - March 16th, 6 am.
