Creating Lasting Impact

SET THE STAGE is a three-year pledge initiative that underwrites two critical areas of CYT Dallas: Artistic Programs and Facilities. The initiative begins in 2024 and supports CYT Dallas through 2026. The funds from this initiative will help CYT Dallas continue providing scholarships to the underserved, keep program costs down for all families, and assist with underwriting the cost of CYT Dallas finally moving into a space of our own.

Our Vision

Since our inception in the Summer of 2016, we have focused on one primary goal: setting the stage for the next generation. We have focused on being the hands and feet of Jesus to nearly one thousand students. 

Over the past five years, CYT Dallas has seen an average increase of 25% in enrollment every fall, winter, spring, and summer session. We are grateful for the rise in enrollment, and we've taken this as a sign that young people long for our arts-and-God-focused community.

Many of you have been on the journey with us as we endeavor to acquire our own space. This complicated process has been in the works for two years. We are committed to finding a home for our community and will spare no effort in achieving this goal. We will combine a portion of the funds designated for this initiative with the funds already pledged for the CYT Studio.

Our purpose and calling are deeper than theatre. We exist for the next generation. We are looking for advocates to join us in this calling.
