Our first exposure to CYT was a Summer Stock camp program. After seeing how our son loved it, we were all hooked. Our whole family is now a “CYT Family” with my Wife and Daughter also heavily involved. I'm always amazed with the process and how each and every show displays a level of professionalism.

Our CYT experience, in a word? “Fulfilling”. All I could hope for, as a parent of two young children, was to find an activity that they enjoyed, one that taught them life-lessons (and life-skills)...and, if possible, one that my husband and I also found engaging. CYT Houston has become a home away from home for my girls, and has filled a space in my own life that I didn’t know was missing until we began this wonderful journey. I am always happy to talk about what CYT means to my family, so feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.

A life changing family. That is what CYT has been for us. We first got involved with CYT in 2022 when our daughter Amanda tried out for Lion King. From that point forward CYT has made a huge difference in her life and our family as a whole. It is a place where we have loved, grown, celebrated and served. It has been the family that welcomed us with open arms from the first moment and then wrapped those arms around us when we needed it most. I am grateful for what CYT has meant to our family and I am extremely excited about what it can do for others going forward. That is why I am thrilled to serve on the CYT board of directors and will continue to contribute in whatever way possible to help claim the arts for Christ. Please reach out to me if you want to know more about our CYT story or if I can help your family enjoy CYT to its fullest.
