Program Information & Important Dates
FAQs
-
Previous experience is recommended. The Musical Theatre Intensive is an audition-based program designed for dedicated performers ages 13–30 who are ready to take on a fast-paced rehearsal process and a fully staged production in just eight weeks. Students should have a solid foundation in singing, acting, and/or dance and feel comfortable learning quickly, working independently, and collaborating with a cast and creative team.
This program is ideal for performers with prior training or stage experience who are looking to grow, be challenged, and gain real-world theatre experience in a professional-style setting.
-
Mandatory dates are essential to the success of the production and the safety and confidence of all performers. Each cast member plays a crucial role, and missing key rehearsals or performances affects not only their own preparation but also the entire ensemble. Tech week is when we finalize staging, lighting, cues, and transitions—these cannot be learned or adjusted last minute. Absences during mandatory dates create disruptions and place extra pressure on the rest of the team. For this reason, we require all scheduling conflicts at your audition, we will make our best efforts to work around these conflicts. Conflicts not announced at auditions can result in being excused from the program with no refund.
-
There are no refunds following the first rehearsal. Performers will be asked to accept specific roles prior to paying program fees.
-
Students will have the option to purchase a show shirt if they wish. The only additional costs that may arise are for required footwear and undergarments specific to the production. If CCPAC retains these items after the show, reimbursement arrangements can be made.
