MYT casts all who audition or desire to become involved, drawing upon the diversity of ethnic, racial, religious, and social backgrounds of its participants. Over the past 15 years, MYT has played an important role in the lives of many young theatre artists, teaching participants not only how to sing, dance, act, and direct, but also how to be responsible, tolerant, and self-confident.
