I know many of you, or your kids, from having been a CYT parent for 10+ years with my youngest having 'graduated' in 2021. In addition to being a CYT parent I have been in IT management for many years and work in that capacity at Awana Clubs International. Personally, I began acting in early childhood in a youth theater program very similar to CYT. I continued learning the arts as a theatre major in college, and after many years of not using those skills, God provided CYT as an answer to prayer. It has been a gift to be able to teach and direct a number of classes and shows. Simply said, this organization has been a blessing to me, personally, and to my family. It is my great passion to share the gift of the arts with my students as they discover and learn about God's gifts and using them for creative expression.
