Hi Friends and Family! I'm so excited to be teaching this year after my brief hiatus away from CYT! If you don't already know me, I am a CYT Santa Cruz Alumni. I was 15 when I first joined CYT and it forever changed my life and my relationship with God! Throughout my time at CYT I had the amazing privilege to learn from so many amazing teachers and mentors. I've been acting since Junior High and I cant wait to share all the tricks and tips I've learned over the last 10 years of my theater career with you! I hope all of you get to experience the magic that is CYT and I cant wait to meet all of you and explore the amazing gifts, talents, and stories that we all have!
Landon has been a part of the CYT family since 2014. He performed in four shows with CYT (Elf, Bridge to Terabithia, Little Mermaid and Peter Pan), served as a stagehand and spot operator for two others, and performed on the improv team for 3 years before he aged out. Following his involvement as a student, his experience includes: internships (summer camps, Honk Jr.), Assistant Stage Manager (CCT's Godspell, A Christmas Carol), Stage Manager (Alice in Wonderland, Tom Sawyer), and teaching various classes. He also performed with Cabrillo Stage in their production of the Addams Family Musical, as well as with Agape Dance Academy in productions of Coppelia, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and the Nutcracker. Landon teaches Upper School Choir at St. Abraham's Classical Christian Academy, where he gets to work with his delightful wife Sarah. He's thrilled to have the opportunity to teach ballroom, as dance is very near and dear to his heart!

Hi CYT Families! I'm so excited to be teaching this session. In case you don't know me, here are a few fun facts; I have been involved with CYT for 3 years, and I am definitely not new to theater. I've been preforming since I was 9 years old, and to this day I still can't get enough of it. I graduated from Aptos High in 2015, and I am currently enrolled at Cabrillo College pursuing a degree in musical theater. Just like most people my age, I am very young at heart, and always willing to encourage students to catch the "theater bug!" Theater is a way of life and I can't wait to share it with you all.
Renée has professionally performed and taught theatre for almost 20 years. She taught and directed for CYT-Spokane, Kidstage, & Missoula Children’s Theatre.

Fun fact: Renée met her real-life husband while in “Fiddler”; she played Tzeitel and he played Motel. They were married five times a week; five years later they were married in real life. They have two children. Renée loves theatre and loves introducing theatre to the next generation.
Stephen Pickens first fell in love with theater when he played the role of a guard in CYT Santa Cruz’s second ever production, Aladdin Jr. Over the course of his time with CYT, Stephen participated in over 10 shows and helped represent CYT Santa Cruz twice at CYT’s annual Improvathon competition. Stephen just recently finished his undergraduate degree at Northwest University where he studied Marketing and was a member of the on campus improv team for 3 years. Stephen currently works as a graphic designer in Santa Cruz and could not be more excited to give back to the CYT community.
