CYT San Diego, South Bay Community Services Bring the Arts to Local Foster Families
CYT San Diego teams up with South Bay Community Services to donate tickets to foster families.
CYT San Diego is proud to announce a new partnership with South Bay Community Services (SBCS), a local community based organization, CYT San Diego has initiated the “Foster A Seat” program to share the experience of theater with youth and families served by SBCS who would not otherwise have the means or opportunity to attend. CYT San Diego’s South Bay affiliate produces three shows each year at Mater Dei High School and is actively involved in different community events, free library performances and more. For the most recent production, Mulan Jr., donors raised funds to provide tickets to more than 100 youth.
CYT’s co-founders, Paul and Sheryl Russell, had a dream of not only providing a vehicle for talented amateur performers in San Diego to have a place to learn and grow, but to make a difference in the lives of those in our greater community by building character, one stage at a time. CYT San Diego is thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with this local community service and help families have a night out at the theater.
