Welcome Parents! We are thrilled you are here! CYT relies heavily on the support of our parents and we want your involvement behind the scenes to be as rewarding and fun as your child's experience onstage! This is your "one stop shop" for all information and forms related to the show: everything from the audition process ... to parent production teams... to the cast party. Once the show is cast, this page will be chock full of details related to our rehearsal/show cycle.

(If you are looking for information and forms related to CYT Classes, please go to the Classes web page.)

The Summer 2021 show, Music Man, will be performed the week of June 20-26 at the Worley Barton Theater at Brentwood Christian School. Rehearsal details (and much more!) coming soon!

We hold rehearsals two days a week. Please note that the schedule below may change slightly. A detailed scene/song/dance rehearsal schedule will be released after rehearsals begin. 

REHEARSAL SCHEDULE:
Rehearsals for The Music Man will run from April 24, 2021 to June 19, 2021.

Saturdays 9:00am-3:00pm (4/24-5/22) and Saturdays 9:00am-4:00pm (6/5-6/19) @ Studio Preparatory – ALL CAST; there may be times that the entire cast does not attend for the full day.

Fridays 5:30-7:30 (4/30-6/18) @ Art Beat Dance Center – usually ensemble dance numbers; students will be notified if they need to attend.

Students are expected to rehearse at home, every day if possible.
