VALLEY YOUTH THEATRE

Valley Youth Theatre's mission is to inspire young people to be the best they can be through a variety of performing arts opportunities. We are a safe place where young people from all backgrounds can learn and grow as individuals, performers and leaders. As we continue this mission our hope is to grow our three core programs so that more young people, throughout the state, will be able to experience live theatre, either on stage, in the audience or behind the scenes For the past 34 years, we have expanded our reach and offerings to include the following core programs: • Productions: Each season consists of five musicals and one play -- all with young people, ages seven to nineteen, participating as actors, orchestra members and technical support -- and there's never a fee for them to participate, ensuring youth from all socio-economic backgrounds can, and do, participate in our productions. • Education: VYT's students enjoy learning the fundamentals of acting, improvisation, voice, dance and theatrical production. VYT provides camps and classes throughout the year. • Community Outreach: Our community outreach programs provide accessibility to live theatre that children may not otherwise have and demonstrate our commitment to giving back to the community that supports us. Valley Youth Theatre is a community-focused organization dedicated to fostering confidence, leadership, teamwork, literacy, and public speaking skills, particularly for those who face significant challenges.
