Lisa has been dancing and preforming since she was very young. She received a BA in theatre performance and theatre administration from Whitworth University. She has studied numerous styles of dance including ballet, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip-hop, swing, ballroom, and latin. Since graduating, she has been active working with professional and community theaters in the Portland and Salem area stage managing and choreographing. She believes we were all made with the ability to dance, and with a little practice and instruction, we can create something very beautiful through movement. For Lisa, dance is a joyful expression of the soul, and she is excited to share that joy with others. When not working on a production, she enjoys going on adventures with her husband, Kyle, and their children Lexie, Marcus, Jinora, and Ezra.

Susan Ruddock began dancing at age 16, taking an Interpretive Dance class from Sr. Jeanine Therese. She found her passion & escalated her talent by taking thousands of diverse dance classes: modern, ballet, tap, jazz & musical theatre. Tap dancing so fascinated her that she dedicated 35 years to The Skylark Tappers dance company, retiring in Dec 2018. In 2010, Suz was chosen as a local Rockette to open the Radio City Rockettes’ show in Portland. Over the years, Suz honed her tap skills by interacting with taps masters Cholly Atkins, Brenda Buffalino, Honi Coles, Linda Sohl-Elison, Fred Strickler, Portland’s own Terry Brock & countless other tap masters. Suz enjoys engaging in theatre as an actor, singer, dancer, choreographer or assistant director with over 40 shows to her credit. A recent venture was choreographing Disney’s The Lion King for Kids.

Tim was born in the wilds of Pennsylvania, with an Appalachian mountain as his backyard. He began singing solos at the age of 5 and his parents taught him how to hold a microphone by swapping out an ice cream cone each time he finished a song in practice. He took that vocal background and made both district and regional high school chorus in south central Pennsylvania. He also was a soloist and member of a traveling vocal group called Living Miracles that was made up of counselors from Camp Joy-El and represented CBM Ministries. Tim attended Messiah College and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and a minor in music. The elective work for his major was focused on youth and children. Tim led the summer vocal team, New Light, representing the college. Tim served as the road manager of the 6 member ensemble for two summers, which included a 19+ state summer tour each year while performing at churches and camps across the eastern and midwestern United States. Tim started with CYT as a substitute vocal teacher during the fall of 2022. He enjoys hiking, camping, reading, singing, and playing and watching baseball, volleyball, and football. Any day he can get his wife Melissa and two daughters (Sophie and Lainie) outside and in view of some mountains is a good day.
