Quick Facts

  • Audition Format

    All Youth Theater Collective auditions are completed online through our audition form. You’ll submit a short introduction video, a recent photo, and your monologue. Singing is optional but encouraged for those interested in featured or lead roles.

    YTC Players – For students in Grades K–4/5. This is a separate program from our main-stage productions. Players rehearse and perform their own smaller showcase that aligns with the theme of our larger show. Players may be considered for the main stage (including Mean Girls) if they are ready and families want that opportunity.

    YTC Apprentices – For developing performers in Grades 5–12.

    YTC Company – For lead and featured performers in Grades 5–12.

    Casting is determined by age, experience, and audition performance.

  • Who can audition

    Auditions are open to all Youth Theater Collective levels:

    YTC Players – Grades K–4/5

    YTC Apprentices – Developing performers, Grades 5–12

    YTC Company – Lead and featured performers, Grades 5–12

    All students will use the same audition form and follow the same submission steps. Casting will be determined by age, experience level, and role fit.

  • How to Audition
