Parents
Truly a pure joy for our homeschooled son to participate in such a group...Having a reassurance that staff and volunteers care about each child's development as an actor and a Christ follower is encouraging. We highly respect and recommend COAHYT to any parent looking to get their student involved in theater.
Kirk & Alexandria (2021-2024)
Two of our teenagers have participated in COAHYT over the past five years. I can not say enough good things about this organization! The high quality of theater training shows itself in the productions. Add to that a great community of kids who build friendships off stage and directors who invest personally in the students, and you’ve got one of the most beautiful opportunities for youth I’ve seen!
Jason & Jill (2020-2024)
...We truly *LOVE* COAHYT! Excellent productions! Very professional! Family friendly shows that will make you laugh, cry, or both… and will often make you think. COAHYT is so much more than just theater! This is a group who learns together, laughs together, shares life together, serves each other, and grows together...

I am honored to be a part of this incredible organization and witness firsthand the positive impact it has on the lives of our youth.

Joe Eskridge, Board Member
...Alyson and John bring out the utmost in these young performers and having been a supporter for many seasons we have had the opportunity to watch the players grow in experience from season to season. It is so remarkable to watch the performance and get drawn into the characters as the actors weave the story together it is easy to forget that these are not professional performers...
JMJ Landscaping, Partner
I whole-heartedly encourage your student(s) to be involved in COAHYT! This company puts on incredible productions, and they always have a lot of fun in the show process. I can personally tell you that both John and Alyson love Jesus and love these students. Your students will learn how to act onstage, but most importantly, how to live offstage.
