South Bend Civic Theatre announces Auditions for New Civic Youth Company

SBCT has announced the formation of CYC – Civic Youth Company! This company is being formed to provide a vehicle for those students who are committed to studying the skills and techniques of theatre. These students are ready for advanced acting and performing theories and will study and explore theatre from the classics to modern theatre and from acting to musical theatre. Classroom training and performing opportunities are a part of this group.

CYC will be by audition only or with the approval of the Director of Education.

Auditions for CYC will be held Sunday December 11th and Monday December 12th, 2011 from 6:30pm to 9:00pm. They will be in the Studio Theatre at the main building of South Bend Civic
Theatre. Our address is 403 N. Main Street, South Bend.

All students need to prepare a 1 to 2 minute memorized monologue and 16 bars of a song from
a Broadway Musical. Prospective Company members need to bring their sheet music for the
accompanist (we will provide an accompanist). We want to encourage those students who do
not feel they have a solo voice to audition. The Company is not a Musical Theatre program but
there will be Master Classes during the year in developing your singing voice and basic dance
for the stage.

You will only need to attend one of the two days. Please call Sara Bartlett, Director of Education,
at 968-7496 to schedule your audition. Each auditionee will have a 10 minute time slot.
The winter session 2012 will start Sunday evening January 29th and run for 8 weeks. Classes are
two hours with the time being split between learning a specific skill (voice, movement, etc...)
and scene work. Spring session 2012 will start the weekend of April 14 and also run for 8 weeks.
The focus during the spring will be on script analysis and preparing scenes to be performed at
Notre Dame's Shakespeare Festival this summer for ShakeScenes. The cost for each session will
be $185.00. Please visit http://southbendcivicyouthcompany.yolasite.com/ for further
information regarding the company and audition tips and guidelines
