Lorain Palace Youth Theater History

The Palace Youth Theater was started back in 1977.  For the past 35 years youth from all over Lorain County have patricipated in a six week summer camp style theater experience that teaches acting, dance, music, and the technical aspects of theater production.    The Lorain Palace Theater is also a host to summer interns and offers a hands on experience to high school and college aged students who are developing their craft.  The result of this six week theater camp is a first class production showcasing all of the students talents.

Our goal:
PYT strives to maintain a program that inspires, motivates and engages children with an interest or passion for theater – both on stage and off.

PYT is not just some camp, workshop, or glorified daycare — it is an experience.
