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 30+ 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!

We are thankful to our local businesses and family sponsors that support the Meriden Youth Theatre at the YMCA financially. Your support allows us to keep registration costs and ticket prices affordable so all children can have access to high quality theater opportunities. We also recognize that our families support MYT in multiple ways, and we are happy to announce that volunteer hours now count towards family sponsorships.

Funds raised through sponsorship donations go towards:

  • Providing scholarships to cover registration fees for students in need
  • Purchasing technical equipment to ensure each child is seen and heard
  • Purchasing royalties, costumes, sets, props, and concessions for our productions
