This program is open to young people in grades 3 – 5. CYT’s Junior Company performs plays that are literature-based and age appropriate for all. This company places a strong emphasis on developing confidence and a knowledge of theater basics and skill. A full-scale production with costumes, set, lights and music is presented for three days at the end of the rehearsal process. The Junior Company is a precursor to Mainstage Company. Students learn about all of the pieces that go into making a full-scale show and become well prepared for the next level of CYT. Note our policy about Junior and Mainstage Companies: To provide performance opportunities for more students, students cannot be enrolled in Junior Company and Mainstage at the same time. And, once students choose to participate in Mainstage, they can’t move back to Junior Company. This policy mostly affects fifth grade students and is due to the immense popularity of both companies.
