What is the Time Commitment?

1.

Main Stage Shows: Rehearsals are held Monday-Friday from 4:30-6:30pm for 4-5 weeks. *Note: depending on the role, you may not be called everyday, just a few days. (Full schedules will be given out the 1st day of rehearsal).

Storybook Shows: Rehearsals are 2 days a week (typically Tuesday & Wednesday or Wednesday & Thursday) from 4:30-6:30pm.

2.

Main Stage Shows: Tech Week (rehearsals the week of the show) go from 4:30-7:30pm and are mandatory along with every show.

Storybook Shows: Do not have a Tech Week, just normal rehearsals 2 days a week. These shows are typically 30 minutes and are toured throughout Fort Wayne. We have about 10-12 performances and ask that you have availability for all shows, but is not necessary. Performance dates are TBD (they are usually on Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons.)

3.

1 School Performance will be done for our Main Stage Shows (with the exception of Frozen Jr.) Students will be given excuse forms to present to their schools excusing their absence.

What Is The Audition Process Like?

1.

You will arrive 10-15 minutes before your scheduled time. If no time slot was made we send groups up at 4pm and 5pm, please arrive a little early. Spots are first come first serve.

2.

Please Check in with a Youtheatre Staff Member where you will be assigned a number. (Please have all of your paperwork with you, if it has not been filled out, please arrive earlier to complete the form).

3.

We will call groups up by numbers and send them upstairs to the audition halls. Auditions will last about 1 hour and we encourage you to wear comfortable clothing/shoes.

4.

Once in the audition hall, a Youtheatre assistant will line you up and take your picture. Remember to bring your filled form with you.

5.

The directors will then call your number and have you read from the script provided (this can be found under the "Audition Materials" button above). If the play is a musical we will teach you 16 bars of music from the show on site. No need to bring music with you.

6.

That's it! Remember to have fun and enjoy yourself, the directors love to see that! We will notify you if you have been selected for callbacks by Tuesday evening via e-mail or phone and will post a full cast list on Friday at 2pm.
