Welcome to Classic Youth Theatre, Inc.

Dear Potential Sponsor,

Socrates said, "The unexamined life is the life not worth living." This is the destiny of the theater, to examine human life. So I ask you, what contemporary adolescent cannot benefit from the examination of human character? This is the purpose and philosophy of Classic Youth Theatre, Inc. With school budgets being slashed and more and more of America's youth floundering to find their place in society, we seek to provide a sanctuary of intellectual debate, a place of contemplation, a place of expression, a place of discovery.

Perhaps by studying the broken character of Stanley Kowalski, the tender confidence of Elwood P. Dowd or the heroic selflessness of Cyrano de Bergerac, we will be able to shape a youth's mind into one of intellectual power. In our town there are no free theatrical experiences for children except through the schools; and even those are limited. Even the bought and paid for productions are largely musicals.

Please, would you help our community by supporting a classic theatrical experience? We would like to offer you the opportunity to be a lead sponsor (anonymously or openly) by underwriting our current production ($3000).

Give often and please give generously. Your donation is tax-deductible, and you will definitely be taking a proactive role in helping to mold the minds of tomorrow. Offer our children an alternative to playing video games, watching too much television, and idling way their time with empty noise.

Sincerely,

Loralie McGill
Production Director/Founder


Mission Statement

Classic Youth Theatre is to be awarded $1100!

July 9th, 2009

Classic Youth Theatre gives a big thanks to the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation for granting us a generous $1100, giving us the opportunity to bring our highly anticipated Dracula performance into the community of Encinitas. We would also like to give a thanks to all those parents and our sponsors who had greatly supported our last show, Saint Joan. It was our biggest show yet, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of Encinitas’s community. Thank you.
