Financial Support
Ticket sales cover only 45 percent of the cost of producing our plays. Each year contributions from supporters like you enable us to bring quality theatre to thousands of school and family audiences. Our many outreach programs would not be possible with out the support of government grants and many foundations and individuals. We want to thank all of our contributors for their generous support.

Volunteer Support
Volunteers are an indispensable resource to Pennsylvania
Youth Theatre. Parents and community members support
the company's productions as stage managers and assistants,
costume, set, and prop builders, as backstage crew and
as front-of-house ushers. Throughout the year volunteers
help with mailings, publicity, fundraising and hospitality.
Frequently, former students return to serve as teachers'
assistants.
View current volunteer opportunities
PYT's productions are the result of hundreds of
hours of effort on the part of cast, crew and volunteers.
By joining us in this effort, you can help deliver plays
to thousands, many of them school children. You can
set
an example to everyone in the cast, especially
our PYT students, by showing them the value of group
effort and the positive reward of contributing time.
Your hours of help and support are greatly appreciated
and are essential to our goal of serving our community
with the best possible literature-based theatre for children while
offering our talented students the opportunity to perform.
Thank you.
Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program
In 2001 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, established the Educational Improvement Tax Credit Program (EITC) to encourage businesses to make contributions to educational improvement organizations approved by the State. (Businesses receive tax credits from the state for their contributions.)
Support for Pennsylvania Youth Theatre’s MainStage literature-based children’s plays qualifies for this tax credit program. These productions and their accompanying study guides enrich the language arts curriculum of the 13,000 school children who see these shows annually.
Participating businesses receive a percentage of tax credits for all contributions they make in this program. (They receive a 90% credit for a two-year contribution commitment and a 75% credit for contributions made for a one-year period.) In addition to this significant tax benefit, businesses have the opportunity to support educational organizations in their communities who focus on making positive contributions in this field. For more details about this program please call 610-332-1404 or visit Pennsylvania's website: http://www.newpa.com/programDetail.aspx?id=62 |
