About MYT
-
MYT was founded by sisters Amanda Andrews and Becca Walker.
All About Becca
Becca became an Okie in 2014 when she came down here for her sophomore year of college, following her now husband, Brennan, who was born and raised in Oklahoma. The two were married in 2015. In 2017, Becca graduated college with a degree in elementary education. She taught 2nd grade at Northern Hills Elementary School in Edmond for four years before taking the leap to start Metro Youth Theatre with her sister, Amanda.
Becca’s theatre interest began when she played Glinda in her 5th grade production of The Wizard of Oz. The following year she moved to Wichita, Kansas where there were arts opportunities galore for youth. She began taking dance classes in tap and ballet, auditioned for every show possible from 8th grade through her senior year in high school, and found her love for choreography by being given the chance to choreograph for her high school show choir. Becca spent her summers singing in the teen choir, working backstage as an apprentice, or enjoying being an audience member for almost every show at Music Theatre of Wichita. She is overjoyed to be bringing more opportunities for youth to engage in the world of music theatre.
All About Amanda
Amanda grew up in California and Kansas and started doing theatre in 8th grade. In high school, she began performing and apprenticing with Music Theatre Wichita and Music Theatre for Young People in Wichita, KS. In college, she continued to perform and study theatre, music, and dance. Amanda moved to Oklahoma in 2021 in order to found Metro Youth Theatre with her sister, Becca.
Amanda is now married to the love of her life, Wendyle Andrews, who she met through Metro Youth Theatre!
