"My daughter, Daechelle Hernandez, sang a solo at "A
Night on Broadway". During rehearsal, she recorded all
the songs that were practiced and until today, even
though she already performed, she continues to practice
her tape from rehearsal. Her experience with CYC was
one she'll never forget. Thank you for giving her the
opportunity and developing her interest in "Broadway
Musicals".
Michelle Sandoval, Parent
"Working with CYC is preparing young performers for the
real world of theatre. Going to a music rehearsal at
CYC and hearing the talented voices feels like you have
stepped right on the Broadway Stage!"
Meg Sprink, CYC Performer
"CYC Theatre has really opened my eyes to what
professional theatre is like. Before CYC I was unsure
of whether I could do theatre as a career and after
working with CYC, I know I can do anything I set my
sights on! I'm proud to be a part of CYC and working
with professionals and talented peers, I know I'm a part
of a professional high quality production."
Alex Matsuo , CYC Performer
"We've been invited to productions, and appreciate it
immensely. We love the productions and the fact we can
take students to live theatre. For many, it is their
first such experience."
Ted Hernandez, Educator at Hoover High School
"I have grown more as in actor in one CYC show than any
other show I have done. You are really pushed to your
maximum and you learn how to perform the best that you
can. There is such a professional atmosphere during
rehearsals and everyone is competing against one another
(in a friendly way) to strive for the very best."
Lauren Hunter, CYC Performer
"I was blown away by the level of talent and training
these young performers have! I imagine many of them will
go on to professional careers in performance. I wish
there had been something like CYC when I was their age.
It was a joy to be a part of a CYC production."
Megan Starr-Levitt, "Christine" from the Broadway
National Tour of Phantom of the Opera and CYC
Theatre Guest Artist
"My daughter, Victoria, has now performed in three CYC
productions. The standard of training she is receiving
will prepare her for any theatre company's rigor. She
says she "feels prepared for anything". We also
appreciate that CYC encourages a supportive, family
atmosphere and discourages clique behavior. Roles are
given to the most deserving actor without favoritism and
all actors are given their moment to shine on stage."
The Wheatley Family
"CYC Theatre really is preparation for the professional
world, the last three years spent here have been among
the most memorable experiences of my life. I have made
lasting friendships, gained inspiration from the those
around me and risen to new heights while being pushed to
be my best. Through CYC I have experienced the true
demands and difficulty of theatre but also with that,
it's greatest rewards and the rush and passion of
high-quality productions that makes it all worth while.
I am so thankful to have found and been a part of a
company like this. It has lead me to be who I am today
and has made me believe, as I'm now starting my adult
life and college, that all the passions and dreams I've
developed and found in CYC Theatre are achievable and I
am prepared to face the road ahead. Thank you CYC
Theatre & Shaun Evans, I cannot express how great the
impact is you've had on my life and on my heart."
Alexandria Rose-Wiesel, CYC Performer
"I recently finished my first production with CYC, and
it was an incredible experience! I am extremely proud to
say that I was a part of it. Never before have I worked
with a theatre company that was as professional as this
one. I have learned a great deal about musical theatre
and what it is like to work in a professional
atmosphere. From my experience with CYC, I now know
that I would like to pursue a career in theatre. I look
forward to being involved in another CYC production in
the future."
Jonathan Muñoz-Proulx, CYC Performer
CYC is so amazing. The
support and confidence my CYC youth theatre family gave
me from the start, when we are working together or
seeing one another's shows, gives wings to my passion
for acting. Shaun Evans is my friend and a great
director. Working under his direction and guidance
helped me prepare for other professional shows. Thank
you Shaun and thank you CYC.
Austyn Lind Myers,
"Gavroche" from the Broadway National Tour and
Broadway Revival of
Les Miserables and
CYC Performer and star of the upcoming 20th Century Fox film "Starship Dave" with Eddie Murphy
The professionalism, generosity of character, hard work
and teamwork, that our daughter Hannah experienced as
part of a CYC production, deeply impressed us. She grew
as a performer, gaining confidence and taking chances.
Shaun is a force of nature who inspired and motivated.
We look forward to future involvement with CYC.
Anne Telford, Parent
Shaun Evans is one of the more talented stage actors I've
worked with. His keen eye and creative vision make him a
very good teacher and director. The young performers of San Diego
are lucky to have him as a teacher.
