Mandatory Show Parent Meetings:
Regardless of your previous involvement in CYT, anyone interested in auditioning for
James and the Giant Peach Jr. or The Addams Family MUST be present for one of the below meetings:
Saturday, Dec. 3rd at 2pm @ CYT Studio
Saturday, Dec. 3rd at 4pm @ CYT Studio
Saturday, Dec. 3rd at 6pm @ CYT Studio
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.
Auditions:
Students enrolled for the Winter Session of classes are eligible to sign up for an audition slot through the Signup Genius link. Auditions for both
James and the Giant Peach Jr. and
The Addams Family will be on Saturday, December 10th from 10am-4pm where students will bring their prepared material (see below) to present for the artistic teams of both 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
James and the Giant Peach Jr. or
The Addams Family. 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 (the monologues from
James and the Giant Peach Jr. and The Addams Family that you can use are now listed on the Shows page OR you can select your own monologue if you would like)

If you cannot make auditions in person, video auditions are accepted! Record a video of your one minute song and monologue and upload the video on your
Video Audition Form. Please email Naomi Tulp at shows@cytsanantonio.org if you have any questions. We want to see you audition for the show so if you have existing school or family commitments, please get information on how to submit a video audition.
Video auditions do NOT exclude you from receiving a callback or participating in the show.
Friday, December 16th from 5-9pm and Saturday, December 17th from 10am-4pm will be reserved for dance call & callbacks for both productions. Students will be notified by Wednesday, December 14th as to what time they may need to be present on December 16th and 17th.
Rehearsals:
Rehearsals will begin Friday, January 6th.
The rehearsal schedule is posted below.
Please note that the following days/times will be used in this show process:
Friday from 5:30-8:30pm, and Saturday from 10am-4pm. We will utilize a few select Tuesdays from 5:30-8:30pm for blocking.
Production Fees and Ticketing:
Production Fees are
$225 per student.
Block Ticketing means that families are responsible for selling 10 tickets at a discounted rate of $17 (for The Addams Family) or $16 (for James and the Giant Peach 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!
