Happy New Year! December came and went before we even noticed, but January’s here and we’re deep into rehearsals for Village of Idiots. One of the young men appearing in Village has had a very busy year, having just also been involved in Atlantis, all the while navigating the craziness of Grade 12… and this […]
We are very lucky to work with a number of young people whose cheerful faces and enthusiasm brighten our stages even without the big lights. November’s YP of the Month is one such young woman, who has been on our stage many times in many capacities, and always manages to bring her sunny demeanor in […]
We have the fantastic pleasure of watching many of our performers grow up, which may seem obvious, but it’s always remarkable to us that some of the young ladies and gentlemen in their last years at CYPT, now ready to graduate from high school, first came to us as really, really tiny humans. October’s YP […]
It’s audition week here at CYPT, and although some of our recent alumni have moved off to university and other adventures, we do our absolute best to make sure they can still contribute to the CYPT stage. For instance, this week, from their brand new university dorm rooms, members of the Outpatient Collective are Skyping […]
It’s been a hectic summer here at CYPT, and as it winds its way down, we find ourselves eager to recognize some of our amazing CYPT alumni who have moved into leadership roles with the company and to whom we are very grateful for their outstanding work this summer. There are many among our staff […]
We’re closing Richard III this weekend, which means we’re saying goodbye to some of our graduating performers who are appearing in their last show. You’ve met many of them in past months, but this month, we’re saying goodbye to one special guy by making him our August YP of the Month. He’s been on our […]
July is here, kicking off our two busiest months of the year! Of course our summer production will jump into rehearsals soon, and we’re tickled pink that the young actor playing the titlular role in Richard III is back with us once more. This plucky young performer (who also happens to be our July YP […]
It’s June, so The Outpatient Collective is hard at work on our fall production of Atlantis, and our cast is learning their lines for our summer production of Richard III. A few of our young people are actually working on both projects (while also completing a little thing called high school), and yet all of […]
Every now and then, a kid steps up and says “Sure, I can memorize that new monologue that was added to the script three days before opening night! No problem! Need anything else? Coffee? Juice? Tea?” We love that kid. This year, that kid was a girl we’ve been watching grow at CYPT for years, […]
We’re just weeks away from announcing Season 23, but in the meantime, we’re having fun reflecting on the past season. We’re always amazed by the way our young people grow from season to season, and this has never been more true than with the young man who took on a lead artistic role and co-composed […]
