In order to avoid a major deficit in 2025, Canberra Youth Theatre (CYT) has made the difficult decision to pause all productions next year. The company will also reduce its training programs and staffing numbers in order to ensure the viability and sustainability of the organisation in the future.
“For the last few years we’ve been trying to maintain a vibrant youth arts program here in Canberra, including workshops, productions, creative developments and professional pathways training programs for emerging artists,” explains Luke Rogers, CYT’s Artistic Director and CEO.
