PYT Mainstage Auditions 2008-2009

Students, ages 6 and up may audition for PYT Mainstage productions. Most shows are double-cast in order to afford more children performance experience but being a student does not guarantee a role, and, at times, it may be necessary to invite a non-student to audition. PYT musical productions require auditions in ACTING DANCING AND SINGING. If cast, students are required to pay a performance fee. This fee helps to cover the cost of costumes and a fraction of the additional professional instruction and experience a child will gain in the rehearsal and performance process.

Chudu the Goat-Man, Armida the blacksmith’s daughter, and Prince Christopher the violin-playing heir to the throne are shunned for being different.
