Heights Youth Theatre Partners with John Carroll University for 2026–27 Season

Heights Youth Theatre is excited to announce a new partnership with John Carroll University for our 2026–27 season!

This season marks an exciting new chapter for HYT as we bring our productions to Kulas Auditorium at John Carroll University, a beautiful 800-seat performance space on the university’s campus.

Our 2026–27 season will feature three exciting productions:

All Shook Up – October 2026Moana Jr. – January 2027Peter Pan, A Musical Adventure – April/May 2027

This partnership is about more than a new performance home. It creates opportunities for HYT’s young artists to experience a university environment while connecting with John Carroll students, faculty, and the broader campus community.

John Carroll students will also have opportunities to gain hands-on experience working alongside HYT in areas including set construction, costuming, lighting, marketing, business operations, and arts education.

“We are thrilled about this partnership and the opportunity to create new experiences for our young people while engaging with John Carroll’s students and the broader university community,” said Pam Fine, Executive Director of Heights Youth Theatre. “We look forward to learning from one another and seeing what we can accomplish together.”

Founded in 1954, Heights Youth Theatre has spent more than 70 years inspiring young artists throughout Northeast Ohio. We are excited to begin this next chapter with John Carroll University and look forward to welcoming our performers, families, alumni, friends, and audiences to Kulas Auditorium.

We are grateful to John Carroll University for welcoming Heights Youth Theatre to campus and for recognizing the value that youth theatre and the arts bring to our community.

We can't wait to see you at the theatre!
