Motor City Youth Theatre is a professional theatre company and was founded in 1990 by Fred and Nancy Florkowski as
The Redford Youth Theatre, under the umbrella of South Redford Schools.
The company later moved to the Detroit Masonic Temple where it was sponsored by the Scottish Rite Masons.
It was then that the name was changed to Motor City Youth Theatre.
In 2005 MCYT found its own home in an old VFW hall in Livonia, where it has created a beautfful off-Broadway style theatre.
MISSION STATEMENT
To enrich the lives of youth through participation in dance, music,
visual arts, theatre workshops and main stage productions;
To facilitate youth’s development of life skills such as
problem solving, decision-making and teamwork;
To offer high quality theatrical productions to the community.
Motor City Adult Players is an extension of MCYT.
