INFORMATION

AUDITIONS were a success! Thank for participating!

• Results: Monday, August 29: Results of the audition will be emailed by this date. Great care is taken in selecting your child’s part and casting is final and non-negotiable. Please do not email, text or call CWB or a staff member regarding the role your child receives. There is a chance your child will repeat the role they did last time. Remember: every role matters for the success of the production!

• Accepted, If your child is accepted, please save the acceptance email you receive. It will contain valuable password information you will need to access online rehearsal schedules and handbook.

• Try again! If your child is not accepted. Please know we did our best to place as many children as we could, however, there are bound to be disappointments. Casting is done with thought, care and is non-biased. Students may be too young, too inexperienced or not quite ready for the parts they are auditioning for. Encourage them to try again next year!
