 In 2008, Rainbow Youth Theatre is celebrating our 20th year. RYT has built a reputation, over the past 20 years, of providing opportunities for residents of the Comox Valley in a safe, fun environment for people of all ages to participate in community theatre. RYT’s mandate is to provide our youth and children with opportunities to participate in theatre arts. Our members learn self-confidence, self-awareness and explore learning opportunities in a friendly creative environment. We invite families and individuals, of all ages, to join RYT and experience the joy of live theatre.
RYT is a non-profit society and therefore relies on volunteers who are committed to working towards memorable experiences for our members. RYT offers numerous opportunities for its members in all areas of theatre including directing, producing, acting, singing, dancing, technical production, set design and construction, etc.
RYT Membership entitles families and individuals to audition for, and participate in all productions throughout the year. Membership Fees for Rainbow Youth Theatre are $35.00 for an Annual Family Membership. Annual RYT membership period runs from January 1 through December 31 of each year.
Production Fees are weekly fees that are charged to each member taking part in one of RYT’s productions. These fees help to cover some of the basic costs of mounting theatrical productions (ie. Rehearsal space rental charges). Production Fees are based upon $10.00 per “production week” per member, except in the case of families with three or more family members involved in the production. In a situation where three family members are involved in one particular show, a production fee of $25.00 (not $30.00) per production week will be charged. The length of our productions (including rehearsals and performances) may vary from 3 to 6 weeks, depending upon the nature of the production. These production fees are due at the beginning of the rehearsal period and should be paid to the producer.
RYT members participating in a show are required to volunteer thirty hours of their time towards the production. These volunteer hours are outside of the rehearsal and performance hours required of the production and can include a variety of tasks including set construction and painting, costume organization, props acquisition, etc. Family members of very young members are welcome to perform the required volunteer hours on their behalf.

Annual General Meetings are held at the end of March every year and RYT welcomes all interested individuals and families to attend. Detailed information about the upcoming season’s productions is provided at our annual “Meet the Director” event in early spring of each year. Annual RYT membership fees are accepted at this event as well. Auditions for each of the upcoming season’s shows are announced on this website and advertised through the local Comox Valley arts community network.
