Audition Day

What To Expect

Here is what you can expect during the audition process:

Please be aware that the total audition process may take a total of two to three hours.

The audition process is broken down into four steps in order to provide our aspiring performers and their families the best possible introduction to performing with CMT.

Information Meeting

Every audition begins with a mandatory meeting for both the performers and their parent(s)/guardian(s). During this meeting, veteran parents will speak about their experiences with CMT, and will explain what to expect during the course of a production for the performers and their families.

Participants will receive an audition packet, conflict calendar, general rehearsal schedule and the CMT Policies and Guidelines. Before moving onto the second phase of auditions, all forms must be completed.

Conflict Calendar Review

The second phase of the audition is a one-on-one review of your completed conflict calendar with a production representative. The purpose of the conflict calendar is to ensure expectations are set between the performer, the performer's family and CMT. Please be prepared to discuss any questions or concerns that you have about your schedule with your production representative at that time. View the Conflict Calendar now.

Registration

Once all forms are completed and a conflicts calendar has been approved and signed, performers are ready to register for their audition. Each performer will be assigned a registration number and an audition time. At this time, all forms and tuition fees will be collected and the performer’s photo will be taken.

Audition

Performers will audition in groups of 10. Each group learns and then performs a short dance combination. Individuals will then have an opportunity to perform a prepared song.

The final audition step is to read a line or series of lines from the production that each performer received in their audition packet.

Congratulations! You have completed your audition!

Callbacks

Immediately following the audition, production representatives may ask specific performers to come back later in the week to audition further for specific roles. The remainder of the performers are considered cast in the show. The director of the show will let everyone know when the final cast list will be posted.

If your have a conflict with the callback auditions, please inform the director at the time of your audition.
