October’s YP of the Month is…

Tessa Laidlaw!!!

Tessa started her journey with CYPT in august of 2021, when she auditioned for Much Ado About Nothing. Now, she has completed two shows with CYPT. You may have seen her in MUCH ADO ABOIT NOTHING (MAINSTAGE, 2021) and GUITAR STRINGS (CANNONBALL FESTIVAL, 2022). She is a 9th grade student at Mount Royal Junior High School, and is currently on rehearsals for her third CYPT show, REAL BOI. Tessa is so grateful for having the opportunity to work with CYPT, and she hopes to work with them for many years to come! 

“Do whatever you want, because tomorrow you might be dead.

P.S Go buy tickets to real boi!”
