MISSION
OUR MISSION
Our mission at Pontiac Youth Theatre is to cultivate a transformative training ground for all youth in our community, helping them understand their value and find their voice through the vehicle of the performing arts.

OUR VISION
Our vision is to unite young artists from diverse backgrounds through high-quality arts education. By sharing the transformative art of storytelling, we empower students to discover the strength in their collective differences, creating something beautiful, meaningful, and impactful. We believe in the universal truth that what unites us is far greater than what divides us, and through this shared journey, we foster a sense of community, understanding, and collaboration.
OUR VALUES
- Aim higher
We value excellence in all we do. From our students to our instructors to the set designers behind the scenes, we believe everyone deserves excellence—and that belief drives us to bring our very best every time.
- Create Collectively
We are powered by our differences and diversity. Coming together from many different backgrounds and zip codes, we have one purpose: to collaborate, create, and make something beautiful and impactful. Our differences aren’t just welcomed—they inspire our strongest work.
- Speak life
We uplift and empower one another. We speak life into each other, encouraging and celebrating the unique identities and strengths we bring to the table.
-Never Quit
We persevere through challenges. When faced with difficulty, we problem-solve. When conflicts arise, we resolve them. Our work is too important to give up.
