Tolland Youth Services Community Theater

Tolland Youth Services Community Theater (TYSCT) originated in 1997 and has been a staple of Tolland Youth Services programming, providing much anticipated productions each summer. Research supports that participation in the arts exposes youth to many of the assets critical to healthy development. TYSCT provides youth with skills and opportunities needed by young people by encouraging youth to explore the creative abilities within themselves and promoting a sense of self-worth through community involvement-supporting positive, responsible relationships for youth with their peers and an inter-generational community of caring adults.
