Frequently Asked Questions

We consider a variety of factors when casting each show, including age, prior show experience, talent, confidence on stage, and behavior. During auditions, each student completes a form where they can list their top three desired roles, and we make sure that every performer is able to read for their top-choice role during auditions. Ultimately, casting decisions are left up to the PAC team.
We strongly encourage all students to participate in the production, regardless of the role assigned. Every part contributes to the overall success of the show, and there are countless valuable lessons that come from each class and performance. Please note that we do not offer any refunds.
To ensure fairness in casting and consistency for all students, we require full enrollment before participating in any part of the program, including auditions.
You may include casting requests – such as being placed with a friend – in the “Anything else we should know?” section of the enrollment form. Siblings will automatically be assigned to the same cast.
Cast lists and scripts will be sent out via email the day before the first rehearsal. The cast list can be found on the final page of the script.

To maintain a focused and safe environment (and to preserve the magic of the final performance), we do not allow friends or family members to sit in on rehearsals or auditions.
