Auditions:

We want you to know that at CFPA, everyone is a star! We’re a non-audition group, which means all kids who sign up for our program will get a special role. Auditions are still loads of fun – we teach the kids everything they need to know on the first night of rehearsal. They will audition using material from the show, and while it’s not required, we highly encourage all students to attend the Audition class on February 3rd from 9 am to 12 pm. It’s a fantastic way to score those top roles and get a sneak peek at the audition info in advance. So, let’s get ready to have a blast and shine on stage!

Add-on Audition Class: 1/20/24 @9-12pm Pre-register & pay at the door $50

Audition Date: 2/2/24 or 2/3/24 in 30-minute audition appointment slots

Parents are Allowed to Watch

While we truly appreciate your enthusiasm and interest in our rehearsals, we regret to inform you that due to space limitations, we are unable to accommodate all parents in the rehearsal area. Our lobby serves as our practice space, and visiting can sometimes extend into the studios.

If you would like to stay and observe, we kindly ask that you be respectful of the limited space available. You are welcome to visit the kitchen area if you wish to chat. There may be instances when we request that you relocate to ensure a smooth rehearsal process.

We encourage you to witness the creative process by occasionally popping your heads in at drop-off or dismissal or joining us when space allows. Your support means the world to us, and we appreciate your understanding of these practical constraints.

Thank you for being a part of our journey!

 

Fun for the whole family!

When you actively participate, you show your child that you value their interests and are invested in their growth. You’ll also have the opportunity to witness their progress firsthand and share in their excitement and achievements. Additionally, involvement can create memorable bonding moments, fostering stronger family connections. Ultimately, it’s a chance to make this journey not just about your child but about the shared joy of their passions.

We are so thrilled to share this motivating and exciting show with you!
