Mandatory Show Parent/Student Meetings:
Regardless of your previous involvement in CYT, anyone interested in auditioning for
Finding Nemo Jr. or Elf Jr. MUST be present for one of the below meetings:
Friday, August 18th at 5pm
Friday, August 18th at 7pm
We are now requiring meeting attendance from both a parent/guardian AND the auditioning student. You cannot have a parent/guardian from another family stand in for you!!!
Please sign up for the parent meeting you will attend *CLICK HERE*
You only need to come to one of these meetings and coming to a meeting doesn't commit you to participating. This is just to make sure that everyone has the necessary information about the process, expectations, and more. If you cannot make one of these meetings but still want to participate, please email our Area Coordinator, Naomi Tulp, at shows@cytsanantonio.org.
If you do not have a family representative present for one of these meetings and you don't connect with our Show Coordinator to get the information, your child will not be able to audition for the show.
