--CYT Bucks can be used for camp or class tuition, production fees, and CYT show tickets.

--Group sales count!  

--School Day sales, too - get credit for 1 regular ticket for every 5 school day seats sold.  Ask your teacher to bring your class to the show, and mention your name when reserving tickets.

--Only presold tickets count toward the ticket contest, so encourage your friends and family to purchase tickets early!  Door sales do not count for the ticket contest.  

To check on your ticket sales progress, log on to your CYT family account.  You will be able to see the tickets you have ordered, and how many tickets have been purchased under your child’s name for the ticket contest.  Please be aware that any school day tickets listed here will be the total number of seats ordered, and will be adjusted to 1 ticket for every 5 seats for the ticket contest.
  
Complimentary tickets will be available through your “My CYT” page, as well.  Every student will receive 1 complimentary ticket to each of the session’s shows, except for the show he or she is cast or crew in.  The comp tickets will be added to your account on after the shows have been cast.  To redeem your tickets, sign in to your My CYT account, and click on the "Buy Tickets" link.  Select the performance date and time that you would like, and one of the available ticket types will be "CYT Student".  These are your complimentary tickets, and the appropriate number of tickets will be listed in the drop down box. Select the number of tickets you would like to redeem for that performance, and continue through the ordering process.  Any unused complimentary tickets will be stored for later redemption.  

Complimentary tickets must be ordered in advance; they may not be redeemed at the door.

Paper ticket order forms will be available on the class and show blogs, and may be turned in to the CYT office.

Thank you,

Exciting News

Exciting news on the CYT Vanport Executive Director Search

After a two month process of interviewing, testing, debate and much prayer our Board of Directors has reached a decision on the hire of the next Executive Director for CYT Vanport! 
It was a unanimous decision to hire Kristi Foster in the Executive Director position. 
She will be an excellent fit for the position because of her love for the kids and theater; her passionate pursuit of Christ; her dedication to CYT Vanport for the past eight years and her unique skill set that combines strong artistic ability with an equally strong ability to lead and shepherd people. I'm excited to work alongside Kristi the next two months to help prepare her for this new adventure. 
Thank you all for your continued prayer and support.
Justin Parks on behalf of the CYT Board
