Mandatory Show Parent Meetings:
Regardless of your previous involvement in CYT, anyone interested in auditioning for
High School Musical Jr. or SpongeBob MUST be present for one of the below meetings:
Saturday, March 25th at 3pm @ North Point Church in New Braunfels
Saturday, March 25th at 5pm @ North Point Church in New Braunfels
Some of our processes are changing this session, so it is imperative that every student have a parent/guardian in attendance. 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.

Students enrolled for the Spring Session of classes are eligible to sign up for an audition slot through their CYT family account. Auditions for both

Block Ticketing means that families are responsible for selling 10 tickets at a discounted rate of $17 (for SpongeBob) or $16 (for High School Musical Jr.) a piece to family and friends. This is done by using a personal box office link that can be shared. If families do not sell their 10 tickets by the time the show closes, the remaining dollar amount will be charged to the Family Account. More information will be coming with details!
