Auditions

Students enrolled in CYT classes are invited to audition for CYT's Fall production.  Students will choose from 1 of the song/sides which they will memorize and perform for the Artistic Team. Students will also learn a dance segment as part of their audition.

Some will be ask to attend  “callbacks” in which a student may be asked to read or sing for a specific character.  Auditions are a wonderful way for students to gain self-confidence and to show the best of their talents! Auditions are open to family members who would like to attend and watch. (Callbacks are closed.) We do ask that no babies or toddlers be in attendance as to not distract the auditioning students during this important time. 

First, download the  Audition Forms.  The Audition Form link can be found in the email you receive after registering for a class.  Students must be enrolled in a CYT class to audition for the Fall production.   

Next, choose your vocal audition side from the audition tracks HERE.  No other music is allowed.  Please note that student should choose the song they sing best - that shows their vocal ability - regardless of the character role singing. For "The Perfect Nanny" both boys and girls should sing the entire cut even though it is mostly being sung by Jane.  See Audition FAQs for more information.

Then, upload all of your completed Audition Form paperwork (link here soon). In addition to uploading your audition paperwork, Students must bring a printed copy of their audition form completed with picture attached and conflicts listed. 

Come to auditions (Hope Chapel). Auditions begin at 9:00 a.m.; please arrive early to have time to check in and get settled in your seat. You should bring:
  1. The printed forms in your audition packet that you have also uploaded to Dropbox.
  2. Dance shoes (or other shoes you can dance in - no boots/crocs/sandals/flip flops/Birkenstocks, etc.) Dance shoes can be changed into for the dance segment. 
  3. Wear easy to move in clothes that are in CYT dress code. (No exposed tummies/spaghetti straps, etc.)  
  4. A lunch and water bottle with your name on it. No peanuts or tree nuts allowed.

Auditions are open to parents and family members, and callbacks are closed.

Audition FAQ
Our shows are a unique and exciting endeavor. We work together to create a professional production in just 10 weeks. The show and rehearsal process are vital tools in our mission to develop character through training in the arts. Not only will your student learn to perform, but they will also learn who they are and their value as a member of the cast.

CYT Productions are fast-paced. We do an enormous amount in just a few weeks. There are loads of
details to manage, places to be, and responsibilities that all of us carry so that your student’s experience can be the best it can be. This manual has been designed to give you a clear picture of what to expect, what you and your student need to do and when, and how we all can work together for the best show possible.

Parent Committees

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Psalm 133:1

CYT puts a high value on supporting the family unit through the direct involvement of each family member’s talents, interests and abilities.Parents are the backbone of CYT! Without them, CYT would not be the family-oriented organization that it is, in addition to producing high-quality shows! 

At least one parent of each student cast in the production is required to serve on a CYT Parent Committee. Options include, but are not limited to: costumes, refreshments, props, greenroom, backstage, public relations, sets, docents, technical, make-up, programs, and house management.
