The Character Factory

We’re thrilled to host this year’s Greatest Show Gala: Enchanted Rose at The Character Factory—our very own home! This space represents more than just a building—it’s the vision you helped bring to life. After years of dreaming, fundraising, and building together, The Character Factory now stands as the heart of CYT Dallas, where creativity blossoms and character is built both on and off stage.

Supporting The Mission

All profits from this event directly support our Arts Advocacy Annual Fund, ensuring the continuation of our vital programs, as well as our Facility Growth & Sustainability initiative, enabling us to create a lasting impact in our community.

 

The Arts Advocacy Annual Fund

At CYT Dallas, we're dedicated to nurturing young talents and fostering a love for the arts that transcends financial barriers. While registration fees help sustain our programs, they only scratch the surface of our operational costs. It's through the collective generosity of community supporters that we can truly thrive. Their annual contributions fuel our Arts Advocacy Annual Fund, providing crucial resources that empower our students' growth. With your generous support, we can continue offering a diverse range of programs that equip students to grow into strong leaders, confident in who God has called them to be.
 

Facility Growth & Sustainability 

CYT Dallas is thrilled to announce the acquisition of our very own building after years of diligent search and fundraising efforts. Our vision extends beyond mere infrastructure; we aim to cultivate an environment that sets the gold standard for performers while fostering social connections, combating social isolation, and enhancing overall well-being. Research surrounding youth and community spaces underscores the critical role such environments play in reducing stress and anxiety, promoting health, and nurturing holistic development. With our new facility, we aspire to not only provide exceptional performing arts experiences but also serve as a hub for community engagement and personal growth.

Let's Dance!

There’s something truly unforgettable about dancing the night away with a room full of energy and music pulsing through your own personal silent disco headset. What kind of party is it if it doesn’t end with everyone on their feet, moving to the beat of their favorite channel? Get ready for this one-of-a-kind experience! 

Become a Sponsor

Since our inception in 2015, CYT Dallas, a 501(c)(3) organization with over 100 volunteers, has supported the mission of developing character and creativity in kids of all ages through quality theater arts training that brings families and communities together while reflecting Jesus. This mission and our exponential growth in programming could not happen without the support of donors and sponsors like yourself!

The Why...

At CYT Dallas, we believe in the power of building character through the medium of Creative Arts. In our culture, character is often hoped for but seldom realized. We have the opportunity to impart discipline and integrity while instilling self-confidence in each student who accepts our challenge. While students are busy creating characters on stage, we are focused on helping them build characters that will shape not only their future but ours as well. 

We believe that God created us all equal, and we are indeed beautifully and wonderfully made in His image, each of us with talents and skill sets that are uniquely ours. We desire that through the creative arts, we help our students realize those talents and skillsets individually while learning the value of respect, work ethics, working together, and the importance of time and effort well spent. 

We have chosen to reach out to students who love exploring their creative side. While doing so, we hope to plant seeds in their lives that will change the world around them and possibly the world in which we all live. Creative Arts have infused the world for Millennia: painting, singing, acting, dancing, writing, artisanal crafts—all of these disciplines have impacted the history of our world. 

We want to build, guide, and shape characters while creating characters for everyone's enjoyment. Who better to utilize these God-Given gifts than those who have been impacted and taught the Godly ways to use their gifts? 

If you have a creative student in your life who would benefit from a program like this and would like to have an opportunity to include others, CYT has a program just for that person. 

We need your help to make these dreams come true! Please join us on September 21, 2024. It will be a night of celebration, inspiration and entertainment!
