Every session (fall, winter and spring) CYT offers 10-week theater arts classes to children & youth ages 6 – 18. These two hour after-school classes are held once a week in three areas throughout the Vancouver/Portland metro area.
Classes may include but are not limited to:
- Intro to theater for ages 6 - 7

- Voice
- Musical Theater
- Auditions and Callbacks
- Comedy and Improv
- Technical Theater classes such as Make Up or Set Design

Classes are held once a week for two hours, and run for ten consecutive weeks. During the tenth class week, a showcase is presented in which each class performs a brief prepared presentation, showcasing what they have learned over the session. Every CYT student participates in the showcase. Classes are a great way for students to gain valuable theater arts training, develop confidence and make life-long friends!
