About CYT Classes - Where the fun begins!

Every session (Fall, Winter and Spring) CYT Baton Rouge offers 10-week theater arts classes to children & youth ages 5 – 18. These two hour after-school classes are held once a week on Mondays. On the final week of classes, students will display a portion of what they've learned by participating in a SHOWCASE for family and friends.
