About CYT Shows

CYT shows are appropriate for the entire family and are an excellent way to introduce children to the arts!

CYT produces one Broadway-style musical each session. Enrollment in CYT classes provides students (ages 8-18) the opportunity to audition for their Affiliate’s current production. Students not cast in the show are encouraged to participate in other ways. Depending on age and ability, students (and siblings) can participate on the backstage crew, technical team, or the costume and makeup committees.

Our Upcoming Summer Show!

Into the Woods-A CYT+ Show for ages 13-20
Show Description here:
The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

What is a CYT+ and how does it work?
A CYT+ is an audition based show for ages 13-20. We will audition in June and the rehearsals will happen over an intense 2 week process (9am-4pm daily). Those auditioning should be ready to do the work AHEAD of July rehearsals and come in OFF BOOK (knowing all lines/solos/duets for their role).
This will be a rigorous theater experience.

Audition info: Sign Ups will start May 1
For audition, please prepare a 1min 30sec song that shows your range. Act it out as you sing! (We will not be doing monologues for auditions-just the song.) Please note, this is a difficult show and we only have 2 weeks in person. This means you should not audition unless you are ready to put in the work on your own time. Those who get a solo or duet should come to camp knowing it and just needing to clean it.

We plan to double cast the show to give more people an opportunity. Each cast will perform 3 shows.

Auditions: June 2 2pm- 6pm at Kingdom Baptist Church
Callbacks: June 4 9am-done at Kingdom Baptist Church

Auditions

Students enrolled in CYT classes are invited to audition for their Affiliate’s current production. Auditions typically consist of a one-minute song performed for the Artistic Team, with the possibility to learn and perform a short dance routine. The audition process may also include a “callback” in which a student may be asked to read for a speaking role in the play. Auditions are a wonderful way for students to gain self-confidence and to show the best of their talents!

Parent Committees

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! 

CYT is a family and we all work together to produce high-quality, broadway style productions. Each student MUST have an adult/parent sponsor who serves on a committee. Parent/Adult committee options include, but are not limited to: costumes, hair, make-up, props, greenroom, concessions, publicity, sets, set dressing, box office, lighting, sound, make-up, programs, and house management.
