- CYT students ages 8-18 who are currently enrolled in a class in FOLSOM may audition for this show.
- SPECIAL NOTE: Spring show auditions for Matilda & The Lion King Jr. will be COMBINED. If you are willing to be cast in EITHER Matilda OR The Lion King Jr., please sign up for a class in your first-choice area.
- An online audition form will be emailed to all students enrolled in a CYT class who have selected to participate in auditions. Please be prepared with the following items needed for your form:
- headshot (does not need to be professional)
- audition music track upload link
- flexible measuring tape to provide some basic costume measurements
VOCAL & PRELIMINARY DANCE AUDITIONS:
Tuesday, Feb. 24 @ Oak Hills Church (1100 Blue Ravine Rd - Folsom )
- Students will sign up for a 20 min. group audition slot sometime between 4:00-8:20pm.
- Please choose an accompaniment track with no vocals (such as a karaoke track - no a cappella audition songs).
- Audition song cut should be no more than 1 minute. The director needs to see how well the student can stay with the music, both in tune and in rhythm. You will be able to upload your music to the audition form. It's best if you have a YouTube link or a song file. We cannot access tracks through iTunes, Spotify or Amazon.
- For the Dance portion, students will learn choreography at home via video and will come ready to perform it for the directors following their vocal audition. This is performed in a group with the other auditioners in the same time slot.
CALLBACKS: (including Featured Dancers)
Wednesday, Feb. 25 - 4pm @ Oak Hills Church (1100 Blue Ravine Rd - Folsom )
- The purpose of Callbacks is for the directors to see certain students dance additional choreography, sing a selection from the show, read a scene, or any combination of these.
- Directors may ask pairs or groups of students to read scenes to see how different combinations of personalities, ages, and heights work together.
- CYT callbacks are CLOSED to everyone except the artistic team.
- If a student is not "called back" it DOES NOT mean that they will not be cast in the show.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Students who audition are NOT eligible for a class tuition refund, regardless of casting.
- All students cast in the show will be charged a production fee of $250
- All families are required to serve A MINIMUM OF 30 HOURS on a parent team.
