Your Audition To-Do List!
- Register for at least one CYT Dallas class- trimester or studio. You must register for class before taking any further steps!
- Compare your personal calendar to the production calendar and make sure you can attend most rehearsals and all performances.
- Commit to the production and access your audition form by paying your $175 production fee. (Link coming soon!) This fee is non-refundable, so we hope that you are committed to participating regardless of your eventual casting. Note that the payment page asks for an additional donation amount to cover processing fees. You can change that third-party donation amount to $0.00 as CYT Dallas doesn't receive that and isn't rewarded or penalized for that choice.
- You will receive the link to the audition form in your emailed receipt from the production fee page. You choose your audition time slot on the audition form, along with filling out all of your other information such as calendar conflicts and song choice. If you use apple pay or google pay on the fee payment form, please make sure that you know the email associated with that payment account as the receipt with the audition form link is automated.
- Choose your audition song (1 minute track or 32 measures of sheet music) and start to practice. (See the audition FAQ page for more info about your song.) You will need to have your song chosen before your fill out your audition form as it requires that you upload an instrumental track or piano sheet music.
- Choose an audition monologue from our provided selections and memorize it. (Selections will be available for each show in the pdf menu above when the audition form is live.)
- Watch the dance audition videos and prepare to show your skill at the dance auditions. Dance auditions will beheld on the Saturday following auditions as early as 8:30am. Dance auditions happen in small groups and every group will have several chances to perform.
- On the night of auditions: arrive 10-15 minutes before your audition time and sign in.
- Callbacks for roles, by invitation only, will be held on the same day as the dance auditions.
When you commit to participate in a CYT Dallas show, you agree to pay a non-refundable production fee of $175, to sell 20 tickets per student (or 25 tickets per family,) and contribute family volunteer hours to the production.
As a non-profit organization, volunteers are integral to the fiber of CYT-Dallas, and we need you to help make our program a success. We require every cast member to have at least one parent/guardian actively participate in our volunteer culture. Please review the list of areas to serve and submit any area of interest or any special skills you might have, and a volunteer from that team will contact you with additional information. Prior to the first rehearsal, your background check and safety training must be completed. You can start that process
here. Your background check and safety training expires after TWO YEARS.
There are no scholarships available for production fees, nor exceptions to the ticket requirements listed above.
