Performance Opportunities
ABOUT YC PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES
In addition to year-round training in our classes, the YC offers audition-only performance opportunities for young actors to apply what they’re studying in classes to the stage. Performance opportunities include our Cabaret, Actors Ensemble, and a full production in the Fall or Summer. A.C.T.'s mainstage season also includes A WhyNot Christmas Carol, which casts an ensemble of young actors ages 8-13.
UPCOMING AUDITIONS AT THE YC
This Winter/Spring, our "Tennessee” Actors Ensemble (open to students grades 6-9) will explore the fantastical world of Peter Pan. Under the direction of Andy Alabran, the Actors Ensemble will feature scenes and songs from multiple adaptations of this iconic story, including both the classic musical and play, Peter and the Starcatcher by Rick Elice, and Peter Pan and Wendy by Lauren Gunderson. The Peter Pan Project will culminate in two performances at A.C.T.'s Strand Theater.
Auditions: Wednesday, December 11 from 4:30pm-8pm & Thursday, December 12 from 4pm-5:15pm
Audition Sign-Up Deadline: Monday, December 6 at 12pm
Hadestown: Teen Edition
Book, Music & Lyrics by Anaïs Mitchell
Join us next summer in A.C.T.'s Rembe Theater at the Strand for this intriguing and beautiful folk opera. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
