Spring 2025 Show Calendar
We are so excited to have your student audition for our shows! Please list BOTH shows so that they have a better chance at being cast in one of the shows. There is no guarantee of being cast in a show, particularly when "BOTH" is not listed, though we always do our best to cast our students, and we try to give them their preference when possible. If you have a scheduling conflict preventing you from participating in one of our two spring shows, please email Lindsey at shows@CYTSanAntonio.org. Continue reading for important info!
Mandatory Show Parent/Student Meetings:

There will be 3 mandatory parent/guardian meetings during the session - one during the first week of spring classes, (chose to come Monday, March 24^th, or Thursday, March 27^th), one on the first day of rehearsal, April 8^th at 5:30 pm at Freedom Fellowship Church, and one at the beginning of tech week.

Auditions:
Students enrolled for the Winter Session of classes are eligible to sign up for an audition slot through the sign-up genius. (see below).  Dance Call for all shows will be Friday March 28^th (More info below). Auditions for all shows will be on Saturday, March 29th from 10am-4pm at the CYT Studio where students will bring their prepared material (see below) to present for the artistic teams of all productions. Please arrive 10 minutes before your audition slot to make sure your paperwork is complete.

Students will need to prepare:
*A one minute cut of a song (this song should NOT be from the show your student is auditioning for. We suggest something Disney if this is your first time auditioning. Your track needs to be a karaoke track with no words)
*A one minute or less monologue (you can use a provided monologue HERE - (you may use a Monologue from EITHER show (Alice in Wonderland Jr., or Anastasia) OR you can select your own monologue if you would like.
*Please have your student bring a notecard listing their show preference, as well as their top 3 roles they are interested in. This in no way means that they will be called back for one of these roles. We know most girls will list Anastasia, or Alice, and of course, there is only one student who will be cast as one of these leading ladies. This is just a fun, and appropriate way for students to communicate their interests to the directors.

2. Audition Sign-Up through our AUDITION SIGN UP GENIUS
