Mr. Brett A. Mayer serves as producer and director for FYTC. For 24 years he has lived in the Fleetwood area and its local surroundings. His acting career (if you dare call it that) began at Fleetwood High School as a gangster in "Sugar," a cowboy in "Annie Get Your Gun," and a sailor in "South Pacific." None of these roles were by any means a leading role; however, Mr. Mayer enjoys the production aspect more than the acting aspect. He loves theatre, however, the one thing he is more passionate about than theatre is music.

The first stop on this journey was Millersville University where he spent two years performing throughout Millersville's Music Department.

He is a proud Kutztown University graduate of the class of 2006 with a B.S. degree in Music Education. Mr. Mayer has performed in various ensembles throughout his college tenure. He is fluent on saxophone, flute, and clarinet. He teaches private instrumental lessons in the summer for Fleetwood Area School District and has developed his own studio year round. He has had the privledge of directing the Fleetwood Middle School Advanced Band a few years ago and Parkland Elementary School bands this past spring. Mr. Mayer has taken various theatre design classes at Kutztown University along with being in the booth for KU's production of "Baby With the Bath Water". He has designed set for "Round the World and Back Again" and assisted with "Undercover Romance" for the Fleetwood Middle School.
