What an amazing year! In its first season, New Britain Youth Theater produced three plays at Trinity-on-Main Performance Center--A Children's Christmas Carol, Babe the Sheep-Pig, and I Know I Saw Gypsies (an NBYT Teen Company production). Year-long programs in three New Britain elementary schools ended with performances based on folk tales, fables, and legends. A shorter program at Roosevelt Middle School led to a staged reading of Romeo and Juliet. Back at Trinity-on-Main, Drama Classes and Homeschool Enrichment Programs also concluded with "Share Day" performances. Summer programs included five weeks at Jefferson Elementary School open to all children, five weeks at Smalley Academy for incoming students, and other outreach programs throughout Greater New Britain.

Over the year, NBYT held a total of twenty-five performances and share days, directly served over 400 participating children and teens, and entertained over 1800 audience members! Children and teens in NBYT programs came from eighteen different towns in Greater New Britain, Greater Hartford, the Farmington Valley, and throughout Connecticut.

In its second season, NBYT will add new programs and expand already successful programs. Performances will include the world premiere of a Christmas play, I'm Getting Nothin' for Christmas; Rodgers and Hammerstein's magical musical, Cinderella, the whimsical world of Seussical, and Teen Company productions. Drama classes will be offered on additional days and hours, preschool classes will be added, homeschool and after-school programs will explore new scripts and activities, and exciting new school vacation week programs will be scheduled in February and April.

To last season's children and families, thank you for being part of such an incredible beginning for NBYT! To new children and families, look over the programs and performances that NBYT offers and call us with any questions. We look forward to welcoming everyone to NBYT for what is sure to be a magical second season!
