Casting?

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

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.
