Auditions are a wonderful way for students to gain self-confidence and experience in performing in front of people. Currently enrolled CYT students ages 8-18 are invited to audition for any one of the CYT productions each session.

Audition Tips:
• You are limited to one minute. Show the best of your talents!
• Introduce yourself with energy and confidence.
• Smile, project, make eye contact with the directors, and be well prepared in every way.
• Sing an appropriate song in your range – a children’s song or show tune is recommended.
• Bring sheet music or an instrumental-only CD.
• Add some movement or dance.
• Perform a monologue or dance routine or other special skill if you aren’t a singer.
• You may also be asked to learn and perform a short dance routine.
• Bring a current photo or $2 for a Polaroid.

• You may not leave rehearsal early.
• You must commit to approximately 40 hours of rehearsal time before move-in and dress rehearsal week.
