2025 End of Year Giving
When we opened our doors in 2023, we could never have imagined the extraordinary growth we would experience in such a short time. Some days it feels unbelievable that we are only in our third year of operation. Our programs, productions, and student community have expanded beyond anything we dreamed.
We have created a safe, accessible, and welcoming place kids can go in the afternoons, and believe in offering programming to ALL kids while remove barriers that limit access to the arts.
In 2025…
MHYT served 575 individual students across summer camps, classes, and theatrical productions.
Employed 3 staff members, along with 25 teaching artists and production contractors.
Opened seven productions, featuring ten unique casts of actors.
Launched our new Theatre for Young Audiences program, delivering nine free performances to 450 community members across the Denver metro area.
-
Awarded 42 individual scholarships, distributing $9,785 in financial assistance to support youth participation in our programs.
As we look toward MHYT’s future, we’re filled with gratitude and excitement. Thank you for helping us build something truly special. We hope you’ll continue this journey with us by supporting Mile High Youth Theatre this Holiday Season.
Operational Support
There are a lot of operational costs associated with educational theatre: paying teachers a livable wage, technical equipment, licensing and royalties, venues, insurance...
Your gift goes directly to support our operational and programmatic goals. These goals include:
- Supporting production needs like licensing & royalties, costumes, scenery, and technical equipment for our students
- Hiring and training new teaching artists - and paying our artists well!
- Continuing the development of our Encore Presents Theatre for Young Audiences program
We hope you will support Mile High Youth Theatre as a 2025-2026 donor.
Giving Activity
Mission
MHYT creates theatre experiences that allow students to thrive artistically, socially, and emotionally. We believe that in teaching empathy through the performing arts, we will not only nurture exceptional artists, but exceptional humans.
Background Statement
MHYT believes that theatre education should meet each child where they are and give them the tools to succeed both on and off the stage. The arts are a catalyst for community, teaching empathy, problem-solving, and a positive sense of self. We believe in creating space to celebrate our differences while building understanding for the experiences of others.
