Review for CYT PHOENIX, Phoenix, AZ, USA
One of the worst experiences I have had. The theater puts on a nice production and the kids do so well but the management is beyond horrific. We were berated by the leaders of the group over the phone, being yelled at and threatened to be taken out of the play after they begged us for money, simply because we were late to a rehearsal. Horrible horrible horrible experience. Were extremely rude and unprofessional. Wasted money and time. (and a lot of it). Will never be doing any productions with this team again. You are warned. Beware.

CYT Phoenix is not sure who has written this review as they are writing anonymously, but we are certainly sorry to see it. We would have loved the opportunity to try to resolve this somehow at that time, if we had had an opportunity to do so. We value our volunteers so much! And love the kids that come to learn and grow with our organization! We certainly do not yell at or berate our participants. We do expect our participants to follow through with the written agreement they make once they join a cast and are involved in one of our shows to attend all the rehearsals they are needed for. Not sure what the begging for money could refer to - we do ask for support, like all nonprofits, as our income from tuition and tickets only covers part of our costs. Our staff is paid far below a standard wage and they work very hard. Since this was written more than a year ago, we may be too late in seeing it to be able to address the concerns. We wish they had addressed us directly. If the writer of this review would contact us, we would certainly like to have the opportunity to resolve their concerns. We do apologize that you were upset by anyone in our organization and if anyone acted unprofessionally to you.
