Peninsula Youth Theatre offers a variety of classes for children ages 3.5 and up. From traditional acting and singing classes to intensive camps, we are proud to offer classes and camps voted "family favorite" by the readers of Bay Area Parent Magazine year after year.  Just a sampling of what we've heard from parents:
"The camp leaders were fabulous!!! My daughter had such a blast in those 2 weeks. I was concerned about how she was going to do in the final performance, but she did GREAT!!! We will be sure to sign up early for next year!"
 
"My child said thank you for the camp, he had a great time and really liked his teachers."
 
"My daughter enjoyed putting on a show from the ground up. She learned a lot and wants to do it again."
 
"Theater in the Park is a highlight of my daughter's summer! She looks forward to it every year. The Counselors and campers are very fun, happy and kind."
 

We hope you'll join us for a camp or class!!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE REGISTERING YOUR CHILD:

Review class information carefully before making your selection.  Your child must be the age listed for a class or camp before the first day of the class or camp.  Due to heavy demand, we cannot make exceptions to the stated ages.

Please note that our new enrollment system will only allow you to choose one class at a time.  This is because the registration process is now account based.  If you are enrolling multiple children or the same child in multiple camps, you will have the opportunity to add to the first selection later in the process.

Once you create an account, you will be able to easily add additional or new classes, and check your account status, print receipts and view a history of your enrollment through PYT.

If you are not part of our mailing list, and would like to receive our brochure by mail, you may add yourself to the list by clicking HERE.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please email or call the Education Department at (650) 988-8798 x302.  Click on the link to the left to be added to our e-newsletter list and receive notification when new classes are posted.
