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 the final week of classes, students will display a portion of what they've learned by participating in a SHOWCASE for family and friends.

Enrolled students, ages 8 – 18, have the opportunity to audition for a CYT Broadway-style musical!

[PLEASE NOTE: This FALL 2020 session will not have a MUSICAL PRODUCTION, only classes]

Younger students may serve as ushers at CYT shows, and students ages 14 and up may work on a backstage crew. NOTE: You must be enrolled in a CYT class in order to be eligible to audition for a show.
