YTI!
When we’re not learning the arts! We’re appreciating the arts! We were invited by Catalyst Theatricals LLC to attend the last showing of Gotta Dance at Stage 42 on Theatre Row! What a wonderful experience for our children to not only experience an Off Broadway Show paying tribute to several Broadway Shows, but to be able to meet the cast afterwards and show their appreciation!”
YTI IN RED
A Big Thank You
At YTI we are very much about community and gathering. We find comfort from our history as we continue to move forward and create new history with the growth of our gatherings and community! This piece, choreographed by our Dance Instructor Ms. Camilla Davis, is a dance passed through our ancestors for many centuries. It’s a diasporic celebration of culture, community and fellowship. We chose this piece to remember the ancestors of Mother Africa, Madre España and Bibi Borikén! These young ladies made me so proud!
A special Thank You goes out to our Board Member Carmen Goldberg and to the Charter School for Educational Excellence for affording us this opportunity!

Message from The Board President Genia Flammia
As summer settles in and our days become a little brighter and a little busier, we at Youth Theatre Interactions are taking a moment to celebrate all that this season brings. Summer has always been a special time for our community, filled with creativity, connection, and the excitement of new possibilities.
This year has already been filled with growth, inspiring performances, and moments that remind us why we do this work. We have watched our young performers find their voices, take creative risks, and support one another in ways that extend far beyond the stage. It is a beautiful reminder that art is about so much more than performing. It is about building confidence, fostering self-expression, and creating a true sense of belonging.
And of course, none of it happens without our incredible community. Our families, teaching artists, volunteers, and supporters continue to show up with generosity and enthusiasm, making everything we do possible. Your belief in our mission means more than words can express.
Now, summer camp season is here, and the excitement is in full swing. If you know, you know. And if you do not, this may be the perfect summer to discover the magic for yourself. From new friendships to unforgettable performances, we are thrilled to welcome both returning and new participants for a season filled with creativity, confidence, and just the right amount of theatrical chaos.
Registration for our 2026 Summer Camp is still open. Learn more and secure your spot here.
This year marks an especially exciting chapter for Youth Theatre Interactions. There is a renewed energy around our work, and we are continuing to build something vibrant, inclusive, and deeply rooted in our community. We are not just putting on shows. We are creating a space where young people can grow, express themselves, and feel like they belong. That is what keeps us going.
We invite you to be part of it.
Whether you are a student ready to take the stage, a parent looking for a creative home for your child, an artist who wants to give back, or a supporter who believes in the power of the arts, there is a place for you here. Come join us. We think you will be glad you did.
Thank you for being part of our community. We cannot wait to see what the rest of this summer and the seasons ahead will bring.
With appreciation,
Genia Flammia
Board President
