Thank you for supporting the arts in Meriden!

The Meriden Youth Theatre at the YMCA is committed to involving and educating Connecticut youth, ranging in age from 5-19, through musical theater. Over the past 23 years, MYT has played an important role in the lives of many young artists, teaching participants not only how to sing, dance, act, and direct, but also how to communicate, tolerate, and to be self confident. MYT's mission to to train and educate today's youth to become confident leaders of tomorrow, is guided by the following principles:

1. Casting all who audition or wish to participate

2. Providing a positive environment which promotes teamwork, communication, and accomplishment

3. Recognizing the diversity in participants and audiences

4. Realizing it's now how big a part you get, but how big you make your part!
