My name is Alexis and I'm so excited to join the CYT family! As an alumni of CYT Tucson in Arizona, I remember the life changing impact it had on me, and I'm so excited to help play a part in that experience for students! After high school, I moved to Los Angeles and started pursuing an acting career, got to work on a few different TV and film sets, as well as taking classes. In 2019, I relocated to Colorado. I had the opportunity to perform with the Iron Springs Chateau and Peak Performing Arts. I'm also currently signed with Wilhelmina Denver. Outside of acting, I love video creating, traveling, art, cooking, serving at my church and spending time with friends and family! I'm so thrilled to rejoin the CYT family!

She directs a High School Musical Theater Program there and the students are performing Willy Wonka in the spring.

I'm a mom to 5 theater kids ages 9-17! They are all involved in performing in some way or another and I love it! I have loved being a part of the CYT family and I have volunteered on several show committees but my favorite is being makeup mom! I have been lead makeup mom for over 5 shows now! I love getting creative and getting to know all the kids in the process! When I am not busy with theater I love thrift shopping, hiking, being creative in any way I can whether that's cooking, crafting or other projects, and of course where would we be without coffee, chocolate and Jesus! I'm from Kansas but Colorado has won my heart!

In an unexpected twist of fate, I found my calling to weave together comedy, psychology, and pastoring into a unique tapestry of love and service. My journey began with a deep passion for humor, which I discovered early on as a powerful tool for connection and healing. I realized that laughter could bridge gaps, break down barriers, and bring people together in ways that words alone could not. Each day, I am grateful for the chance to inspire joy, cultivate understanding, and share God’s love with others.

My name is Reagan Smalley and I am so excited to be teaching at CYT! This organization is where I first developed my passion for theatre and I am so excited to instill that passion in the next generation of CYT students. I have a bachelors degree in Theatre from Biola University in Los Angeles California. Additionally, at my church I lead children ages 2-13 in small groups as well as worship for over five years. My prayer is that I may help develop your child's passion for theatre as well as their relationship with Jesus Christ. I believe that our God is a creative God and through the power of theatre we can bring honor and glory to His name.
