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.

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. […]

With just a few weeks away until Cannonball AND our Season Launch party, we’re stocking up on Kleenex here at CYPT, because between the pride of watching our kids write /direct their own plays and the annual “goodbye to the grads” part of Season Launch, we know we’re gonna need them. One of our kids […]
Peter Pan is open! It’s been such fun watching a new generation of kids fall in love with the OG children’s play, especially the older kids who’ve been around for a while and get to rediscover their earlier youth in this production. For one kid, the journey has been downright cyclical, because she started her […]
