CONCORD YOUTH THEATRE is where Chris got his first experience in acting. Inspired by his sister Carly he joined in and was soon a regular on stage. His mother ended up being director of the theatre.
It was orginially in Beharrell St, West Concord, MA. A few years ago it moved house to Baker Ave. In October 2019 it moved to a new permanent home in a converted church at 55 Church St - about 150m from its original home!

Parents playing bingo at a gay bar is one of the more interesting fund-raising ideas we’ve heard in a while.
Concord moms did just that at Club Cafe this week to raise money for Concord Youth Theatre (CYT), a theater group whose executive director is Lisa Evans, mother of “Captain America” actor Chris Evans.
The unique fund-raiser was hosted by drag queens who are members of the Boston chapter of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a nonprofit group that describes itself as a “modern Order of Nuns” dedicated to “Service, Education, Activism, Entertainment, and Ministry.”
“What definitely stood out to me was I feel like the sisters, Club Cafe, and the women of Concord had this wonderful moment to have intersectionality,” said Sister Lida Christ, VP of the Boston Sisters. “And what I mean by that is a clientele that normally would not show up at one of Boston’s best gay bars — they showed up and they had a blast.”
Sister Lida said the event came about after she saw CYT’s recent production of “The Laramie Project,” which depicts the reaction to the 1998 murder of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard. She called the show “powerful” and said the sisters picked CYT as the benefactor of their monthly bingo fund-raiser at Club Café.
In addition to fun — and raising $1,500 — the event was also educational, Sister Lida said.
“People who weren’t involved with the theater got to hear about what I consider life-saving work that they’re doing with children,” she said, referring to CYT. “And the Concord Youth Theatre base got to learn about the work that the sisters do in our Boston community.”
In all, about 150 people attended, including Evans, CYT’s business manager Heidi Kidder, and the group’s board president Mary-Lynne Bohn.
