Welcome to Countywide Youth Theatre Production!
This is a Parent and Family Participation Program
We are excited you have chosen to be a part of Lion King, Jr.

Mandatory Parent Meeting - There is a mandatory meeting for both new and alumni parents and students for about 15 minutes starting at the beginning audition time.    This mandatory pre-audition meeting will answer your most frequently asked questions and give you more information on what to expect in a production. We recognize that auditioning for the first time can be overwhelming and we want to take the anxiety out of the process by addressing your questions early. Our veteran parent volunteers will be available to answer any and all questions.  

Below is the Audition Packet.  Please fill out the audition packet and have it completed before you come to audition. You will be sent a copy of your answers by email so please print this out at home.  If you can't print it out, email Crissi and she will print it for you.  In preparation, pull out your calendar and Zelle, Venmo or Paypal link for payments.  45 hours minimum of parent participation is required.  Buy Outs (Volunteering Pay Out) are available for $300 additional per family.  Each family receives 2 free tickets.

What to Expect and how to prepare for the audition:

• Your audition session will last 4 hours.  Students will be expected to stay the whole time.  Once you have given me your reg forms and paid, it's best you stay because the actual audition might be done earlier.

• Tell your kids, being nervous is normal.  Do your best and it's ok to make mistakes.  What's important is that you keep going with a smile on your face!

• Prep a song of your choice.  It is required that you bring a bluetooth accompaniment track for the song with which they will audition.  You can bring cell phones but we won’t have wifi available.  You will be auditioning the song alone,  in front of the directors.

• Performers will audition in a group dance in which they will learn a small dance combination.  

• Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toed mandatory shoes, as they will be taught a short dance routine during auditions.  Also bring bottled water with their name on it.

• Callbacks are by invitation only and will include reading sides (short scenes from the play) with others and possibly a short dance for those called back for a dance role. No memorization is required.  Your directors will send a packet of materials for the character they want you to try out for.

• When you receive your role, remember that you are not just doing this for fun but for the glory of God.  Be content with the role you have and we promise, you will have one of the most memorable times of your life!

AUDITION CHECKLIST

➢  Parents:  Bring a snack for your children, they will be there for 4 hours!  

➢  Parents:  Come early for your audition time so that your children will stay relaxed for their audition.  Complete this AUDITION PACKET below.

➢  Parents:  Applications & Finances are due before or at the time of audition.  Bring at least 7 checks if you choose to pay during the audition time.  You can also pay through Zelle, Paypal or Venmo - depending on the director and what they have available for payments.

➢  Parents:  Review the CONFLICT CALENDAR for the show you are auditioning for.  Add in any and all rehearsals you cannot attend.  Directors and producers frown on last-minute conflicts and might re-think the roles your children receive.

➢  Parents:  Have your calendar ready to choose which dates that DO NOT work for you.  Once everyone has registered, we will create a supervision schedule.  You will be volunteering 4-5 days during rehearsals depending how many families we have.  During tech week, we ask that you are free 6 days of the 7 days and you'll be working 4-6 hours per day during tech week.  

*Returning CYTP Families, For faster registration, come with your audition packet printed out and completed and hand it to Crissi. If you want a scholarship, please meet with me for a couple of minutes. For new families, we are required to meet together since you are new to this whole process and will most likely have questions for Crissi.

**We understand the financial hardship families are facing in this economy therefore, all scholarships are on a case-by-case basis. We only give work scholarships for 50% off. No scholarship will be given on the material fee.

God bless you and your family,

Crissi Allen, Producer
Sandi Gonzalez, Director/Choreographer
Anna Langdon, Vocal Director
