Youtheatre

Saturday, July 26 from 10-11:30 a.m.

Join us to learn how to bring your A-game to the casting process. A strong knowledge about the audition process, positive self-image, and a positive attitude are just a few crucial lessons students will learn through the workshop to leave powerful impressions at auditions. Participants will walk through a mock audition process and receive guidance, advice, and notes on standing out from the crowd and making the most of each audition opportunity.

 This workshop is to prep students for their actual auditions but is not mandatory.

WHEN

 Monday August 4 and Tuesday August 5 from 6-8 p.m.

 Check-in will begin at 5:30 p.m.   All auditioning need to stay the entire time of auditions.

**Those interested in technical crew will only need to register online.

WHERE

Marathon Center for the Performing Arts located at 200 W. Main Cross Street 

Audition Process

Auditions will consist of singing, dancing and reading from the script.  Please wear closed toe shoes and dress appropriately for movement.  

Students only need to attend one day of auditions. 

Please Note

All youth participating in the production (as an on-stage cast member or technical crew member) and their parents must attend a mandatory meeting on Monday, August 11, at 6:00 p.m. at MCPA. Informational packets will be handed out and questions will be answered. All on-stage cast members will be measured for costumes.  A read-through of the script will continue for the on-stage cast members until 7:30 p.m.

Rehearsals will be held from 6-8 p.m. Monday - Thursday beginning Monday, August 18. We will also practice on select Sundays in September.

Dress rehearsals will be held nightly during the week of the show and are mandatory for all cast/crew members. Students may not be needed at every rehearsal. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be released after casting which will attempt to comply with any listed conflicts.

Youtheatre strives to teach the importance of commitment, therefore, attendance and punctuality are documented and may affect future Youtheatre participation.

Attendance by each participant is expected at the rehearsals when they are scheduled.

Please fill out the following form, regardless of if you have any conflicts. 

Conflict Form

Please list all school functions, music lessons, sports, church, and community activities, family vacations, etc. that will take place during rehearsal time. After the list has been approved, additional conflicts may not be added. Any unexcused absence may result in a change in the participant's role in the production.

Be honest and upfront with us, and if cast we will do our best to work around expected absences.

Please note that all on-stage cast members MUST attend ALL rehearsals during the last 2 weeks of rehearsals. NO CONFLICTS will be accepted from September 21-October 4.

If you miss more than three (3) rehearsals that are unexcused, you will be released from the cast.

All youth participating in the production must pay the following participation fee according to their role in the production: $75 for on-stage cast members and $40 for technical crew members.

Youtheatre is a family affair! At the parent meeting on Monday, August 11 at 6 pm, parents will be asked to volunteer on pre-show and show-week parent committees. Committees cover every aspect of producing a show, including building and painting sets, costumes, backstage supervisors, dressing room supervisors, cast party and many more. Our shows would not be possible without the dedication and investment of each family!
