This spring CYT Nashville will be presenting High School Musical at the Academy Park
Performing Arts Center in Franklin, TN. The shows will be from June 7 through June 9.
This lively, fun-filled musical has a very poignant theme of fitting in and dealing with the
“status quo”. The characters in this show fight together to break down barriers and let
others shine in ways they have never been allowed to in the past.

CYT Nashville is proud to “team up” with another organization that fights every day for
everyone to be able to shine and to break down barriers around race and
socioeconomic status. New Hope Academy’s vision states that it is “​dedicated to a
unique educational experience, equipping children from all backgrounds to
become a generation of leaders who will reflect our Creator and transform our
culture. This vision is cultivated through the convergence of three commitments:
the promise of excellent, classical education; the mission to the underprivileged;
and the belief in connected, purposeful community.” ​This belief in a connected,
purposeful community “provides the opportunity for students to form meaningful
relationships across economic, racial and cultural lines. Groomed in this loving,
equity-promoting environment, each student discovers his/her unique gifts.”

To support this amazing organization, CYT Nashville will be hosting a supply drive at all
4 shows. There will be places to drop donations at the door. All these donations will aid
NHA in continuing to provide an amazing education while building bridges. Won’t you
please join the team and donate.
