Summer Youth Theatre

Curtain Call’s Summer Youth Theatre Enchanted Cabaret Fundraiser: Make your submission by April 29, 2024!

We are so excited to be putting on our first SYT Enchanted Cabaret to fundraise for our 2024 Summer Youth Theatre production, Disney’s Beauty & the Beast! This event has been developed by members of our SYT Board as a fundraiser for this summer’s program, as the show will require higher production costs than normal. Please take the time to read the following information about the cabaret before filling out the form:
 
Rehearsal and show dates are as follows: 
  • Performance #1: May 24 at 7:30pm (call time 6:30pm), with a dress rehearsal on May 22 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
  • Performance #2: May 25 at 7:30pm (call time 6:30pm) with a dress rehearsal on May 23 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
  • PLEASE NOTE: Each evening will feature a different roster of performers. You would only be placed in one performance. 
Audition Information:
  • Please submit a 60-90 second video clip of the song you would like to perform at our Cabaret. We will not be assigning material. PLEASE NOTE: This song MUST be something you are familiar with already and have worked on, and must be rehearsed and prepared on your own before your short rehearsal time with our Music Director, Matt Stolfi. You also must provide us with sheet music in the correct key of what you are singing. 
  • No submissions will be accepted without accompanying sheet music in the correct key. If you need time to supply us with a copy of this separately, please make a note on your form in the last question. 
  • Please double check that you are submitting your sheet music in the correct key. Matt Stolfi will not be transposing. If you need sheet music in a different key, websites like MusicNotes.com can supply sheet music in transposed keys. 
This audition form is due on MONDAY, APRIL 29th at 11:59 pm.
 
There is a participation fee of $20 payable to Curtain Call, Inc. which will be paid after you’ve been accepted to the cabaret.
