CYT Shows!

CYT shows are appropriate for the entire family and are an excellent way to introduce children to the arts!

In a typical season, CYT Houston produces 6-8 Broadway-style musicals! Enrollment in CYT classes provides students (ages 8-18) the opportunity to audition for any current production. Students not cast in the show are encouraged to participate in other ways. Depending on age and ability, students can participate in the crew program, technical team, or the costume and makeup committees.
**Tickets are nonrefundable and cannot be refunded once purchased.
 
A service animal is defined by the ADA as an animal that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The tasks performed by the animal must be directly related to the person’s disability. Fully trained Service Animals are welcome inside CYT performances.

Please note that emotional support, therapy, comfort, companion animals or service-animals-in-training are not considered service animals under the ADA. If you intend to bring a service animal to an event, please notify us prior to purchase so we can help you determine the best seat based on your needs.  Contact us in advance by sending an e-mail to mary@cythouston.org or call (281) 580-4298.
Business Ads, Congratulatory Ads, and Spotlight Ads help to support CYT programming and fund the printing of the playbills for that production.  Please consider placing an ad in our upcoming playbill and support CYT and our cast members.

CYT helped me grow in numerous ways. I have become much more patient, confident, and hardworking thanks to CYT. But beyond that, it was just a fun time with some of the best people. CYT rehearsals were always the highlight of my week. I loved the community of people I met and all of the friends I made throughout my CYT journey. At a time when I needed a place where I felt like I belonged, CYT delivered and I have been grateful ever since for the existence of this organization.

Parent Production Teams

Parents are the backbone of CYT! Without them, CYT would not be the family-oriented organization that it is and could not produce the high-quality community shows that it does.
 
At least one parent of each student cast in the production must serve on a CYT Production Team. Options include, but are not limited to: costumes, refreshments, props, greenroom, backstage, public relations, sets, docents, technical, make-up, programs, and house management.

School Day Shows

CYT brings the best in children’s theater to students throughout the county. Literature from the classroom comes to life on stage in quality productions with colorful costumes, professional staging, energetic choreography and singing. All performers and crew members are students ages 8 –18. Docents are available for classroom presentations to help prepare your students for the performance, discussing the story and explaining theater etiquette. The docent may also display props and costumes, demonstrate stage techniques or bring along a cast member.

CYT School Day performances are designed specifically for elementary and middle school classes. Last year over 40,000 students attended our productions.

School groups interested in tickets to an upcoming school day performance should email cyt@cythouston.org.

It was great.  It is hard to believe that a show with mostly kids can have such quality.  Very impressive!

Christian Community Theater (CCT) Shows!

Christian Community Theater (CCT) is a community theater program FOR ALL AGES that has open auditions to the general public. At CYT Houston, our summer CCT show is our chance for families to join together on the stage. We have had grandmothers join their grandchildren, toddlers on the hips of their mothers in the town scenes, college alumni home for the summer, and many new friends from the local theater community join our ranks over the past several years!

Recently produced shows have been Mary Poppins, Hello Dolly, Beauty and the Beast, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Newsies, Fiddler on the Roof, and Music Man! CCT shows are wholesome, family entertainment for the entire community!

Auditions are typically held in May and rehearsals are held Sun-Tues weekly from June to mid-August when the show goes to the stage in downtown Conroe at the historic Crighton Theater! We hire excellent artistic teams to come help our cast make magic, so come be part of CCT and see what the talk is all about!
