For years, Christian Youth Theater Vancouver/Portland was a shining example among the area’s performing arts groups.
But as the faith-based nonprofit continued to put on shows last year, it found itself in fiscal crisis — short on cash, high on debt and leaving bills unpaid.
After replacing its board and laying off staff, the group now finds itself emerging from debt with the help of a visiting leader on loan from CYT Chicago.
