Make a difference Today

At UYT, your donation does more than support a show, class, or camp. It supports every kid who walks through our doors as they build confidence, creativity, and community through the arts. At UYT, it’s always more than a show. For us, theatre is a vehicle to develop lifelong skills that young people carry far beyond the stage from teamwork to resilience, communication, to adaptability, and so much more.

Your support also helps us create space for kids to express themselves, not just on stage but behind the scenes. From assistant directing to stage managing, from designing sets and costumes to leading props and tech teams, UYT provides kids with opportunities to grow as leaders.

Your donation also helps us build community, a place where every kid can feel a sense of belonging, be part of something bigger than themselves, and form friendships that last a lifetime. And because of supporters like you, no child is ever turned away due to financial need.

Yes, your gift supports shows and classes, but for the kids involved, it is so much more. Every dollar you give directly impacts the kids at UYT, our programs, and the community we create together.

Together, we are making an impact.
Together, we are building performers and people.
Thank you for supporting UYT!

“United Youth Theatre has been a foundation for my entire life. It has completely shaped who I am today: a compassionate, empathetic and purposeful individual. It has set my life values, my future goals, and my perspective on the world. Since the age of nine theater has been the leading part of my life, and it’s one of the main reasons I am the person I am today. ”
