The Lorain Palace Youth Theater (PYT), now in its thirty-third year, has been going strong as one of the most successful youth theaters in northeast Ohio. The Lorain Palace Youth Theatre is a six-week summer program for ages 8-18 that promotes a positive, character-building atmosphere through which the methods of acting, singing, dancing and technical production are utilized. Workshops are conducted in the morning, rehearsals in the afternoon. The program culminates with the presentation of a full-scale, family oriented musical theatre production at the end of summer in the beautifully renovated 1928 theatre on Broadway in Lorain, Ohio.
PYT strives to maintain a program that inspires, motivates and engages children with an interest or passion for theater - both on stage and off.  PYT is not just some camp, workshop, or glorified daycare -- it is an experience.

Last year's show:
82 kids and teens fill cast of Lorain Youth Theater’s ‘Peter Pan’

2009-07-20 15:59
LORAIN — While only Peter Pan and a few others will actually be zooming through the air during the Lorain Youth Theater’s performance of “Peter Pan” this weekend, director Valerie Farschman says everyone in attendance will be soaring out of the theater.

“Not only will the kids who are wired be flying, people will probably be sailing out of here,” Farschman said.

With a cast of 82 ages 8 to 19 performing 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Lorain Palace Theatre, Farschman said this show will be the best of the four she has done.

“The show in rehearsal is awesome,’’ Farschman said. “It’s going to knock you off your feet.”

The staff and cast have been rehearsing for six weeks for the 32nd annual show, taking classes in the morning to learn about theater and rehearsing for a couple of hours each afternoon.

Zach Heiser — who plays Captain Hook and helped design the cast T-shirts — said that while he has been in several plays over the years, there was some unfamiliar acting this time around.

“I had to learn all sorts of other things like sword-fighting, but all in all, this is probably one of my best years,” he said.


Another part of this year’s play that is expected to be one of the best in years is the costumes. Costume designer D. Justin Bilewicz III — who Farschman said pays close attention to details — spent a lot of time making sure the costumes for the play gave off the perfect feel.

“The costumes are a glistening, Edwardian dream that fills your inner child with delight,” he said.

The program also has Alex Arroyo, a professional NY actor, doing the choreography.
