Twin Cities Youth Theatre (TCYT) was founded in 2025 as a non-profit dedicated to increasing youth-led theatre opportunities in Minnesota. Since then, our work has allowed us to reach youth from around the Twin Cities and beyond through our award winning productions, as well as initiatives such as the MSP Youth Show Calendar.
This year, we are hoping to expand our work to reach more young artists and expand opportunities for youth-led theatre across Minnesota.
