Our Trimester Classes offer an engaging and flexible learning experience for students every Fall, Winter, and Spring. These 8-week sessions provide a comprehensive overview of acting, singing, and dancing, ensuring a broad base of knowledge in the performing arts. Each trimester concludes with an exciting showcase, where students can demonstrate their newfound skills to family and friends.

For those interested in participating in our CYT Broadway-style musicals, enrollment in a class within the corresponding session (Fall, Winter, Spring) is required. With shorter commitments compared to our Studio Classes, Trimester Classes offer a lower-pressure environment, perfect for those seeking to explore their artistic talents. 

Trimester classes take place on Tuesday evenings for either 1.5 or 2 hours. 
Our Studio Classes offer an intensive, in-depth training experience from August through May. Spanning 10 months, these classes are designed for students committed to deepening their knowledge and honing their skills in specialized areas such as Tap, Vocal Performance, Choreography and more.

Students will have two special opportunities to share their progress with parents during our informal “Family Night: Inside the Studio” events, held at the end of each semester (December and May). These evenings are designed to let families step into the studio and see firsthand what their student has been learning and experiencing each week, and to provide a celebratory atmosphere for students to showcase their growth and skills.

Students enroll in a Studio class for the entire season, and participation in a Studio Class meets the class requirement for involvement in a CYT production for the entire season. This longer and larger commitment fosters a high-intensity environment where students can thrive and excel. Join our Studio Classes to immerse yourself in focused, high-quality training and take your performing arts skills to the next level.

Thank you to our Scholarship Sponsor!

Karl and Nelda Buckman have translated their personal success and innovative legacy into a force for creative empowerment. Their journey began with grassroots initiatives, such as funding arts programs for disadvantaged Texas schools and nurturing small-town theater, laying the groundwork for their larger vision. The creation of Nelda Studios marked a significant leap, aiming to produce diverse and meaningful content across various media platforms. In parallel, they established The Karl and Nelda Buckman Fund in 2021 to further champion creativity and the arts. A testament to their commitment is the Buckman Center at the School of Design and Creative Technologies at The University of Texas at Austin - a hub for cross-disciplinary collaboration among educators and creators. Together, the Buckmans stand as benefactors of the arts, weaving their philanthropic work into the fabric of underserved communities, with the belief that access to the arts is not a luxury, but a necessity for all.

CYT's Triple Threat

Each class will be infused with character development and arts training for each student. Our goal is that every student leaves our classes feeling more confident in who they were created to be as well as their performing arts skills. CYT is recognized for excellence in theater arts training. Our uniqueness, however, goes beyond our programming and instead lies in our dedication to CYT’s Character, Culture, and Craft. These three elements comprise CYT’s Triple Threat.

CYT Character

CYT believes in building character on and off the stage, and that character is rooted in CHRISTIAN values such as love, joy, peace, kindness, perseverance, and dedication. Every instruction is rooted in these values.

CYT Culture

CYT’s culture is one of inclusiveness. We welcome all and remain committed to providing a vibrant and fun atmosphere with our focus on YOUTH. With this commitment comes a promise of providing family-friendly productions that are appropriate for young audiences.

CYT Craft

CYT is committed to providing excellent training in our THEATER craft by staying informed of National VAPA (Visual and Performing Arts) standards. CYT hires qualified Teaching Artists and Artistic Teams who consistently elevate our students’ knowledge of theater arts.
