For some people, theatre is a fun pastime. And that’s great. For others, though, it’s woven into the fabric of their DNA, it’s what fuels them personally, socially, intellectually, and artistically. I think the latter is true of our January YP of the Month. A leader in our ranks, this young artist absolutely breathes theatre. […]
Some kids play sweethearts. Some kids play villains. Some kids can do both at the same time! This young lady has been on CYPT stages for years, often in slightly spooky roles, often as a member of a very spooky ensemble of furies or witches or dead kids… and yet no matter how skilled she […]
We love when CYPT kids get to try out different kinds of roles. It’s fun to see their range. But sometimes, kids really nail a particular kind of role, and get cast in similar roles often, as has happened with our November YP of the Month. This guy has played a lot of villains. A […]
As we enter our second week of performances of The Wolves, I’ve noticed our grade 12 performers beginning to take stock in their time at CYPT. For some, this will be their last show. And yes, some are participating in 2019’s Cannonball, and some will audition for our 2019 summer show or take part in […]
Thank you to everyone who auditioned for Wayward and Snow White. It was a difficult round of casting given how much talent we saw. Please know that if you were not cast, don’t get discouraged – it can take several tries to get cast, even for the strongest actors, so just keep auditioning and working […]
If you’ve been on Instagram lately, you may have noticed the hijinks our Wolves cast has been up to on the soccer field. Sportsing is hard and theatre kids learning to sports is entertaining to say the least (that sounded natural, right?). But, of course, we are always entertained by these young people, and one […]
Oh my darlings, audition season is just weeks away, and, as has become tradition here at CYPT, our fall show is being written by our 2018 Outpatient Collective. For those who don’t know, The Outpatient Collective started in 2014, and is made up of artists who have just graduated from grade 12 and CYPT. This […]
SUMMER IS HERE! SUMMER! SUMMER! Sorry. We’re excited. It’s been a long winter. Luckily, our summer play is actually set in the summer, so that’s nice, AND it stars a sunshiny cast of kids with smiles so warm we’re already tanned just from seeing them. One such kid is our July YP of the Month. […]
Like many of our young artists, June’s YP of the Month is graduating from High School this year, and like many of our young artists, she is going on to pursue theatre at The University of Victoria! Seriously, it’s just wild how many of our grads will be heading there next year. And so, even […]
Season 27 Cast Lists CYPT is delighted to announce the cast lists for two of our Season 27 Productions. On behalf of the directors, Mark Bellamy and Jamie Dunsdon, we’d like to thank everyone for coming out to audition. The selection process was extremely difficult, and we highly encourage everyone who was not cast to […]
