YTI’s
Annual Recital
YTI’s Annual Recital began in 1974 and has continued as a method to showcase the talents of each class. The entire student body is represented in performing drama, dance and music. YTI’s Annual Recital is held in June of each year. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for students and senior citizens. For more information please contact YTI at 914-963-3040 or e-mail us at info@youth-theatre.org
Intergenerational Drama Company
The Intergenerational Drama Company consists of members of the “Intimate Realities” company and a group of hard working parents and senior citizens. The company has developed a play entitled “Common Ground” which portrays seniors and teens in scenarios where they face misunderstandings, stereotypical behavior and conflicts based on misperceptions. The play shows how seniors and teens have plenty of common experiences, which can lead them all to stand firmly together on “common ground.”
**YTI is currently seeking adults and senior citizens who would be interested in meeting on Wednesdays from 5-6 pm every week for rehearsals and participating in occasional performances locally. If you would like more information about joining the Intergenerational Drama Company please contact Executive/Artistic Director Mamie Duncan-Gibbs at 914-963-3040 or e-mail her at info@youth-theatre.org
