Broadway alum Chris Evans has pulled a move right out of Captain America鈥檚 handbook. The actor found a permanent home for his childhood theatre company, Concord Youth Theatre after years of moving from stage to stage across Boston鈥檚 suburbs.
The theatre will now be housed in a church with seating for 210 people, not far from where the star of the Avengers franchise and Broadway's Lobby Hero grew up. 鈥淸CYT] was a place to feel safe and take risks, and what would ultimately lead me to my career,鈥� Evans said. The performer found his love for the craft while participating in shows at CYT since he was nine years old.
Evans鈥� mom, Lisa, is the artistic director of CYT. 鈥淚t means everything as a mother knowing what this place did for my children, and to watch it continue for generations to come,鈥� she said.
