Founded in 1992, Peninsula Youth Theatre's mission is to provide outstanding theatrical learning experiences that develop leadership, emphasize responsibility, and foster teamwork in a supportive, respectful environment. Our emphasis on professional production values helps children develop a deep appreciation for the theatrical arts. PYT’s unique family atmosphere and policy of full participation for all skill levels allows children to develop a strong sense of self-esteem and an appreciation for artistic expression, and vital communication skills that are useful in all walks of life. We are committed to providing an enriching theatrical experience within our community and schools to demonstrate and reinforce the positive role the arts play in academic success.
