CYT's programs are about so much more than musical theater! We are dedicated to developing character in children and adults one stage at a time.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are able to serve our community by providing quality, affordable educational programs, and productions. However, ticket sales and class tuition are not sufficient to cover the cost of delivering top-notch programming.

A gift to CYT is an investment in an established, family-oriented organization that helps provide young people a safe, wholesome environment and skills to make better life choices so that they become positive, contributing members of their community. CYT also allows young people to explore the arts in an atmosphere that nurtures their inner creativity while developing their character.

On average, it costs CYT Nashville about $30,000 to produce a musical. Each year, we produce seven full-length shows; We need your continued support to make it happen! To learn more about how your Business can support CYT Nashville and be highlight in our printed programs, click the link below. 

1. Sound Equipment & Rentals - $800 investment & $800 per show: Great sound is key to an immersive theater experience. We're aiming to purchase new mics with an $800 investment, and we’ll also rent the necessary sound equipment to run those mics for $800 per show. Your support will help us elevate the auditory experience for our audiences.

2. Technical Director Fund: We're working towards hiring a technical director to oversee crucial aspects of our shows, such as lighting and sound, hopefully alleviating the immense pressure on our volunteers. This position will greatly enhance the quality of our productions, and every donation brings us closer to making this a reality.

3. Set Supplies - $1,000: We’ve recently invested in a barn, and now it’s time to treat it like our own. Your donation will help us purchase essential building, storage, and equipment supplies for the barn, all of which are long-term investments. We recently invested $800 into getting new supplies and have more dreams to continue enhancing this investment. These materials will not only allow our team to create stunning sets but also ensure our parent volunteers have all the supplies they need.

Every donation, big or small, helps us create magical experiences for our young performers and audiences. When making a donation on the CYT website, you can even designate where you’d like your contribution to be invested. Thank you for being part of our story!
