CASTING WORKSHOPS

Why have workshops instead of call backs?

Casting workshops allows the creative team to preview and gauge the casts' capabilities in a low-pressure setting.  Workshops will cover music, choreography and scene work over a weekend.  Workshops allow us to refine the show while providing a theatrical educational experience to the invited participants.


Imagine no stress to learn the combination in minutes, let's mix and match scene partners, and enjoy the casting process..


After the workshop - we will finalize casting and begin rehearsing two weeks prior to tech week based on conflicts. We understand parents want to solidify their summer plans so we aim to cast in spring, distribute materials to the cast so they are familiar with the songs/scenes by the first rehearsal.

Parent Support

Purchase AD/Become a Sponsor

Become a Volunteer

Once your child is cast, parent production support  is "requested" to cover expenses of the show which are comparable to weekly summer camp fees but the experience of being involved in a production are far more rewarding! Parents can pay on-line in full below or in monthly installments. Option to be a business sponsor instead will give your business logo exposure on media associated with the show!

SUPPORT

Note from Producing Directors

We are thrilled to have your child/teen in our summer stock productions! Performance Club Kids and our non-profit arm PCTC “Performance Club Theatre Company” is a premier all  youth regional performing arts company empowering youth through performance! 

We apply for grants, seek sponsorship, sell advertising and "ask" parents to provide minimal financial support to cover the costs of the show.


Parents and cast members can sell ads for the program or find sponsors instead of providing financial support. Sponsor logos are featured on posters, banners, programs, and all media associated with the show!


Funding our productions is always our biggest challenge. That's why we established PCTC, the Performance Club Theatre Company, as our nonprofit segment. PCTC is a registered nonprofit organization that underscores our commitment to serving our community and enriching the lives of young individuals in a safe environment that is also highly rewarding!


Thanks to the support of our sponsors and grants through PCTC, no youth performer will ever be denied a role based on financial participation. We are proud to have generated a positive return to pay and attract a professional creative team for the past two decades AND provide opportunities for youth involvement back stage. We can't thank you enough!
