About Classes

From five-year-olds taking their first bow to teens mastering complex stage tech, CYT Tampa Bay offers a vibrant space for students (ages 5-18) to grow—both as artists and as individuals. Our 9-week sessions are designed to be the highlight of your student’s week, offering two hours of focused, small-group learning in everything from musical theater to behind-the-scenes magic.

We pride ourselves on a safe, supervised environment where "learning" is synonymous with "fun." Your student won’t just finish the session with a new skill; they’ll finish with a celebratory showcase performance that proves just how far they’ve come in their craft and their confidence.

At CYT Tampa Bay, we believe that every talent is a gift. In addition to top-tier theater arts training, we teach our students how to worship our creative God through their gifts and talents. We aren't just building better performers; we’re cultivating hearts that use their unique skills to shine a light and give glory to the Creator!


WINTER 2027 registration will open on 11/1/26!


Our regular session classes are $275 for a nine-week session consisting of a two-hour class each week and conclude with an end of session Showcase.

We offer sibling discounts too!  $10 off each sibling in a family.
