Why choose PYT?
For the past 20 years Peninsula Youth
Theatre has offered a
variety drama programs and classes for children ages 3.5 and up. We work
with kids - it's what we do. Our teachers are well trained and
they like working with young people, and introducing them to the joy of
performing. From traditional
acting and singing classes to intensive camps, we are proud to offer
classes and camps voted "family favorite" by the readers of Bay Area
Parent Magazine.
Here's what some of our parents have to say about our programs:
"The
camp leaders were fabulous!!! My
daughter had such a blast in those 2 weeks. I was concerned about how
she was going to do in the final performance, but she did GREAT!!! We
will be sure to sign up early for next year!"
"My
child said thank you for the camp, he had a
great time and really liked his teachers."
"My
daughter enjoyed putting on a show from the ground up. She learned a
lot and wants to do it again."
"Theater
in the Park
is a highlight
of my daughter's summer! She looks forward to it every year. The
Counselors and campers are very fun, happy and kind."
So join us for a class, a camp, or a workshop!
PLEASE READ THE
FOLLOWING BEFORE REGISTERING YOUR CHILD:
Review class information carefully before making your
selection. Your
child must
be the age listed for a class or camp before the first day of the class
or camp. Due to
heavy demand, we cannot make
exceptions to the stated ages.
Please note that our new enrollment system will only allow you to
choose one class at a time. This is because the registration
process is now account based. If you are enrolling multiple
children or the same child in multiple camps, you will have the
opportunity to add to the first selection later in the process.
Once you create an account, you will be able to easily add additional
or new classes, and check your account status, print receipts and view
a history of your enrollment through PYT.
