Our Spring Multigenerational show "Pirates of Penzance"

Founded in 2010, New Britain Youth Theater was selected by Connecticut Magazine as Connecticut’s Best Children’s Theater in 2017, and Best Ct Playhouse in 2025 by the New Britain Herald. NBYT is a professionally-run community and educational theater for children and teens. NBYT is - and always has been - a youth theater that accepts children from all towns and communities, with all abilities, any race, any gender, with all  and any level of experience, and to be involved in a variety of ways both onstage and off.NBYT produces a season of performances by and for children, young adults, & teens. We also do one multi-generational show each spring. This gives our young stars the chance to share the stage with seasoned performers. NBYT is dedicated to enriching the lives of children and young adults by encouraging creative thinking and collaborative teamwork, fostering self-confidence and self-esteem, and developing social, emotional, and academic skills through involvement in high-quality, affordable, and inclusive programs in the performing arts. NBYT operates its programs at South Church in New Britain, and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
