MCYT Bard Bums study and rehearse Shakespeare's plays for 100 hrs prior to their productions. You'll be amazed by these wonderful kids who love Shakespeare and want to share the Bard's exciting work with you! MCYT Bard Bums is an educational acting company, comprised of youth actors who are in grades, 2-12. Motor City Youth Theatre (est. 1990) began its Shakespeare for Families program in 2004, with its premier production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, featuring a mixed cast of adults and children.
MCYT's Shakespeare for Families has since performed Hamlet, The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen's Guild Dramatic Society's Production of Macbeth, and the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Abridged, with adults as well as youth productions of Hamlet, Macbeth and two productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo and Juliet Meet the Hatfields and the McCoys!.
In 2015/16 the name, MCYT Bard Bums, was given to a well-deserving youth cast that offered eight performances of the full version of A Midsummer Night's Dream, including a performance at the Wayne State University Hilberry Studio Theatre.
