Irving Youth Theatre is committed to providing affordable,

high-quality theatrical opportunities for young people in our community. Although we produce high-quality productions in a professional theatre, we keep costs as low as possible.

Production Fees: Most shows require a $200-350 production fee, which includes the script, a show shirt, and a poster. Families are responsible for providing their performer’s costume.
Summer Camps: Camp productions typically cost $400-$500 per participant, with sibling discounts
Family Support: Families can help offset production costs through ticket sales, Playbill advertisements, and by donating items for concessions, raffles, or merchandise.

Scholarships are available based on financial need. For more information, please contact us at director@irvingyouththeatre.com.

So, you want to be in the show?

Here are some important things to remember when you are auditioning!

Prepare

Know the show you are auditioning for – what types of characters, what types of songs, where would you best fit into the show?

Prepare the monologue and/or song selection based on the style of the show.

Memorize and be ready with your ENERGY and ENTHUSIASM!!

Follow Directions

Know the location you will be auditioning and arrive early.

Give yourself time to prepare and BREATHE before being called into the audition.

If the audition calls for providing a bio or resume and headshot, have those prepared.

If the audition is video-based or digital, follow directions about format and parental permissions.

Be sure to READ everything carefully so you know what to expect.

Slate Yourself

When you slate yourself, you are basically introducing yourself. Smile and look at the directors/audition panel. Be prepared to share your name, age, grade or other biographical information requested by the audition team. Also, practice saying the titles of the pieces you will present and their authors.

After you slate, find a point of focus to look with your eyes and present your monologue and/or song. Then make eye contact again with the audition panel and say, “Thank you.” Wait a beat to see if they have anything further for you.
