Peninsula Youth Theatre offers a variety of classes for children ages 3.5 and up. 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 in 2007. Just a sampling of what we've heard from parents:

"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."

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.
