Students enrolled in CYT classes are invited to audition for CYT's Winter 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 will 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 that will be posted here soon.  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.  

Then, upload all of your completed Audition Form paperwork HERE by Thursday January 1st. In addition to uploading your audition paperwork, Students must bring a printed copy of their audition form completed with picture attached and conflicts listed.

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.
