Casting Policies
- Casting is not guaranteed. All students who audition will be assigned to the cast OR crew of the production.
- Students may be cast without any previous CTWS experience; however, students must be currently enrolled in a class that corresponds to the semester the production takes place in.
- Students are cast based on a number of factors, including: audition, who is best suited for the role, faculty feedback, previous experience, behavior, interaction with other students, volunteer history, and CTWS class attendance.
- There are NO class refunds after an audition. If a student stops attending classes while involved in a production, it may affect future casting eligibility, or in extreme circumstances, a recasting of their role in the current production.
- All parents of cast members of the CTWS production (not the HSR production) are required to volunteer on the show and will be assigned to a crew.
- Volunteering is a vital part of the culture and community at CTWS. We believe that it is essential for students to learn how to be excellent performers AND to learn essential backstage roles. In order to encourage students to participate on both sides of the curtain, after 3 onstage roles in a row, students are required to participate on a crew in the following semester (summer camps are NOT included).
