Rhode Island Youth Theatre (RIYT), formerly known as Fantasy Works, is an award-winning nonprofit educational theatre company. RIYT has grown into the largest youth theater program in the state, hosting a summer musical series, after-school programs, original plays for educational venues, and training programs for students in partnership with Prepare RI.

β€œMy daughter has done many plays over the years with Ann and her team, and she has really grown in confidence and ability. She has made solid friends and taken on more responsible roles. As a parent, I really appreciate the effort they make to keep the programs affordable.”

β€œAmazing! Such a talented group of kids who always put on such an amazing show. My kids were sad when camp ended and can’t wait to do it again next year!”
