Program Options

Performance Option

• ​The performance option is open to students ages 12-18 at the time of their chosen program. No previous experience is necessary.
• All performance participants are guaranteed a role in the show; you will be asked to submit an informal audition video after acceptance into the program to facilitate casting. 
• Because auditions and casting will take place June 26 - June 28, only CRTC1 participants will be present for callbacks and the entire rehearsal process. Thus, students who would like to be considered for a leading role should strongly consider attending CRTC1. 
• CRTC2 and CRTC3 participants will most likely be cast in smaller featured roles and/or ensemble roles.
