Helping Youth Plan for Excellence (HYPE)

Hype is a performing arts group sponsored by the Calvary Community Outreach Network (CCON). CCON’s mission is to provide innovative programs & services designed to enrich the lives of individuals and families living in urban Kansas City.

HYPE provides youth ages 13-18 with the opportunity to enhance their performance skills. Youth will use their skills to create and perform dramatic stage-plays. HYPE participants will learn about current day issues and influence their peers in positive ways. Coaching will be given in the following areas: Drama/Acting; Dance; Choir; Rap; Production. HYPE Cast members also participate in selected community service projects and trainings.

We expect cast members to carry a minimum 2.0 grade point average in school and conduct themselves in a positive manner always. Your commitment to rehearsals and performances is extremely important.
