About

Mission Statement
Christian Youth Theater develops character and creativity in kids of all ages through quality theater arts training that brings families and communities together while reflecting the Creator.
Values
  • Treat each individual with respect and significance
  • Develop character traits including discipline, self-confidence, and integrity
  • Bring families together through the use of individual talents and abilities
  • Share the love of Christ in word and deed
Because CYT does not own facilities, the organization rents space in the local community, utilizing classrooms and stages in churches, schools, and local theaters. CYT is not affiliated with a particular church body, and people of all faiths are welcome. CYT stands in the forefront in its commitment to the highest ethical, moral, technical and artistic standards of excellence. Instructors are professionals, who understand our mission statement, values, objectives and goals. All CYT staff strive to be excellent role models.

The safety of CYT Indy students, staff, and community is our highest priority, and we have
several protocols in place to ensure this safety. Our staff and contractors are instructed to
report every incident/suspicion, no matter how minor it may be. CYT Indy is constantly
exploring, evaluating and strengthening our protocols, and we will continue to work tirelessly to
protect our students and families against sexual harassment and discrimination of any kind.

CYT Indy was founded in 2009 by the following families:
John & Tricia Welsch
Jay & Karen Boughner
James & Peggy Davis
Denise Klima
Matthew & Carin Hines
Bill & Cindy Hannah

Lynn is our amazing Production Coordinator. She handles our warehouse items and rentals, props, sets, hair and makeup, and a bunch of other stuff we don't have room to list here.

Lynn may or may not really look like this.
