Enrollment in CYT Class Programing provides students (ages 8-18) the opportunity to audition for CYT Phoenix's current session main stage production. As you are registering for your class this session, you will be asked if you would like to sign up for an audition. At that point, you may request any of the open time slots. If you do not wish to sign up at that moment, you can log in to your family account later and request an audition time slot then.

Some family members choose to serve during "Tech Week." Tech week crews work all of the technical rehearsals, dress rehearsals, and performances. Some crews are open to students ages 14+ and others are available for adults. 
Tech week crews include 

• Hair & Make-Up Team
• Green Room Supervisors
• Wardrobe Crew
• Props & Sets Crew
• Spotlight Operators
• Light Board Operators
• Sound Cue Operators
• Audio Engineer & Mic Assistants

To serve on these crews, both parents and students must fill out a crew application and commit to the full tech week and run of the shows. 

The Audition Form will be included in the Class Confirmation Email once you have registered your student for their class of choice. All Participation Forms must be provided for that Session and can be found and submitted HERE. You will be unable to submit the Audition Form until all paperwork has been completed.

Auditions are held over 2 consecutive days: Friday evening and Saturday. Auditions are closed (if you are NOT auditioning you are NOT able to stay and watch. Parents are welcome to wait in the lobby area)

Friday- Auditions are held in groups of 8! This means friends will sit and watch and cheer on our students as they give it their all! The audition process for Friday is as follows:

• Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled audition time to check in. You will select an audition time slot when you sign up via the Audition Form.
• Student's will be given an audition number and placed in a group of 8 based on your audition time.
• All Auditioners will arrive at the same time (6:00) for the dance audition.
• Once the dance audition process is complete, some students will stay for their auditions the others will come saturday morning (all depending on the time you sign up for).
• Auditioners will go in numeric order:
  • Slate- say their Name, how old they are and what song they will be singing
  • Sing- a one minute song of their choosing. This should be an appropriate song in their range – a show tune is recommended. An accompanying audio track (MP3, MP4) is required.
  • Monologue - choose one of the provided here
• Once the group is finished, they are done! Students are welcome to leave or can stay to help support fellow Auditioners.

Saturday- The audition process for Saturday is as follows:

• We will continue auditions. Once the audition process is complete, some students will be asked to come back for further Callbacks if the Artistic Team needs to see more.
• The call back list will be emailed and posted online. Parents will be asked to be on "standby" for a phone call from either their student or admin to come pick their student up when they are finished.

These Audition Tips are a GREAT resource as you prepare for your Audition!
 

 

Not everyone is guaranteed a role after their audition. Unfortunately there are a limited number of spaces, and the number of students cast varies from show to show. However, if you are cast, here are some things to expect:

• You must be at ALL rehearsals for which you are scheduled. If an absence is necessary, it must be clearly stated on your Audition Form. Conflicts will be taken under consideration during casting. Any cast member missing more than two rehearsals may not be able to participate in the show. Conflicts (other than illness) presented after casting will not be allowed.
• Leaving early or arriving late is considered a conflict, and must be submitted prior to casting.
• You must attend ALL Dress/Tech rehearsals.
• You must be at ALL Performances. 
• More than two absences from your CYT class may result in dismissal from the show.
• You must pay a Production Fee of $280 which includes a Show T-shirt.
• Your parents must agree to attend two parent meetings and to serve on a production team.
• Each family is encouraged to sell at least 10 tickets to the show.
• A student must be 8 to 18 at the time of auditions in order to participate & audition for the show. 

We here at CYT are committed to keeping integrity, fairness, and impartiality at the center of our audition and casting processes. Please reference our Casting Integrity Policy.

Parents must agree to the following: 

I realize that if my child is chosen for the cast, I will be responsible to make sure he/she attends every performance and every rehearsal for which he/she is scheduled. In case of illness, I will notify the Show Stage Manager in advance. In order to ensure the quality of rehearsals and the production, I understand that two or more absences from rehearsal may result in dismissal from the show. Additionally, I understand that my child may not be absent from more than 2 classes. More than 2 absences from class may also result in dismissal from the show.  I understand that students who audition are NOT eligible for a tuition refund. I understand that I will be charged a $280 Production Fee per child. I also understand that I will be encouraged to sell at least 10 tickets to the show that my child is cast in.  I am also responsible for personal items (i.e., shoes, tights, make-up). I understand that I will be required to attend two parent meetings and to volunteer as part of a parent committee.
