General Information

The Garfield Heights Youth Theatre (GHYT) is currently open to 3rd ~ 8th graders.

There is a waiting list.  Names are added based on the order of expressed interest.

Openings depend on slots vacated by graduated students and any administrative decision on class size.

GHYT Classes are held at the Garfield Heights Fire Station (located at the corner of Turney & McCracken Roads) Saturdays from 10:30am ~ 2:00pm beginning in  mid~late October  through mid~late March.  There may be an occasional date change due to weather or an added commitment, but generally speaking, the Saturdays are firm.

Weekly instruction is given in music, vocalization, dance, and stage presence & drama.

Tuition is $150.00. (subject to change)   Payment arrangements can be made if necessary. This includes supplies, music sound CD, a play script and two tickets to the final production.

Tap & Ballet slippers/Jazz shoes are recommended. No tennis shoes.  Prior year students may have shoes that no longer fit which they may offer or sell for a small fee.

Our Main Stage production is presented at the Garfield Heights High School Performing Arts Center at the end of March.

 

Being part of the performing arts world is a wonderful experience for our children.  These classes are fun yet can be intense for some students especially as we get closer to performance dates.  Students need to be personally committed and focused.  They need parental encouragement and support and may require some help from family members to rehearse lines or learn words to songs as the season progresses.  

 

If you are interested in adding your child’s name to the waiting list please reply to RussellCan@aol.com or with immediate questions--Call Ms Russell at 216-518-1434.
