We are actively searching for a property that would provide all our prayed-for needs- potential performance spaces, multiple classrooms, meeting room and office, storage for props, costumes, sets etc. a build space for sets and lots of parking! If you are local, you are likely aware, the cost of this kind of a space is prohibitively high in Santa Cruz County which has made this process especially challenging.

Our team has calculated what would be needed to make this dream come true for a year and more, and this totals to 96k. This number includes any subleasing partnerships & one-time and recurring donations. In advance of the "Help CYT Find Home" campaign, we had already received 12k so we are well on our way to this massively exciting goal!

While this number may feel intimidating, we believe that if God wants us to find roots, God will provide through this phenomenal community.

Whether we meet our goal in entirety or not, all donations will go towards space for CYT Santa Cruz. 

Please know that whether we meet our goal in entirety or not, all donations will go towards space for CYT Santa Cruz

Standing Ovation:  A period of prolonged applause during which those in the crowd or audience rise to their feet.

Become a Standing O Society member to join a group of individuals and businesses committed to prolonged support of their local CYT Branch.  The pandemic was difficult for businesses across the nation, but it was particularly difficult for theater companies like CYT. For two years, our ability to conduct our normal classes, produce our normal shows, and put on our regular summer camps had been severely limited.  As we have worked to emerge from the pandemic, re-stabilize and now vision to the future, your support will have an impact. Your support will allow us to continue developing character and creativity in the youth of our community.
