Pittsboro Youth Theater's family of community arts organizations are moving our Center for the Arts Pittsboro into our own new performing arts campus in Bynum!
NCPAC
North Chatham Performing Arts Center
Opening April 1, 2023
Now under construction.
Presently, we barely have enough money to finish our new arts campus. So please make a tax deductible donation today, and tell your friends and neighbors we need their help too.
Let's all pitch in and create a nice new community performing arts center where area children and adults will learn, practice and perform their chosen arts for decades to come.
NCPAC will have:
• a bigger and newer theater for performances by Pittsboro Youth Theater, Chatham Community Players (adult) acting troupes, and others,
• More private music rooms than we've had in our old CFTA Pittsboro Music School, and
• A beautiful new dance room with a sprung, Danish hardwood floor, ballet rails and mirrors.
Please help us finish

Since 2012 Pittsboro Youth Theater has built our reputation by staging full productions; every cast member takes the stage in full costume, with a full complement of props, professional set pieces, lighting, audio and more–we provide our young actors much more than T-shirts and a room.
In this scene from PYT's 2021 performance of "Frozen Jr." Anna, played by Cate Hall, sings with the snow chorus outside her sister, Elsa's, ice castle.
"As soon as this play ended, I shouted, “That was great!” Because it was! I thought the set was great and very pretty. I could almost imagine it was a real castle. I also love that the costumes looked a lot like the clothes from the movie."
Emory Kasten (he/him), 8-year old Staff Writer
Chatham Life and Style
Arendelle townspeople dance around Wandering Oaken's wagon in this scene from PYT's 2021 performance of "Frozen Jr." in UNC's beautiful Forest Theater.
Children and families come together at Pittsboro Youth Theater to sing, dance and act. Enjoying this trifecta of performing arts in a vibrant arts space, PYT patrons experience community through performing arts group activities.
Especially during this pivotal time after COVID and when social media increasingly seduces people to socialize while isolated, team performing arts programs and live events are an invaluable key to our community's mental and interpersonal health.
