Year End Giving 2023

We don’t always need a fancy script to tell a good story.

Stories emerge from people, circumstances, and God-given talents that bring us to unexpected places and experiences. And so it is with CYT Chicago and the stories you've heard.

Through the generosity of our patrons, friends, and families, CYT continues to teach quality theater arts classes, provide scholarships to families in need, and produce top-notch shows.

Will you support CYT Chicago and invest in our excellence-driven, family-centered theater arts training?

  • The average cost to produce one musical is $35,000.
  • Most costs are up 28%, including facilities, insurance, programming, and royalties. Will you help us fill the gap?
HOW WILL WE USE THE DONATIONS?

Real stories. Real impact.
