Our annual budget for both CCT and CYT San Diego is more than $3.1 million which includes costumes, sets, props, sound, lights, theater and classroom rental, teacher and artistic team stipends, curriculum writing and design, royalties and many other training and production costs. Only about 80% of the total, or about $2.6 million, comes from ticket sales, tuition and fees. Therefore we must raise more than $500,000 annually to ensure that all our productions and student programs are adequately funded.
CYT is looking to the leaders of today, who truly believe that funds invested in youth is an investment in our future, which goes to the heart of the CYT mission. Charitable support allows CYT to grow and enhance the quality of our training and productions while keeping tuition and ticket prices affordable.
