Discover the different ways your student can take the stage at CYT Tampa Bay:
Mainstage Productions
Our mainstage productions offer students the chance to perform in a large theater with full costumes and staging. These shows are produced every fall, winter, and spring session.
Eligibility: Students ages 8–18 currently enrolled in a CYT class.
The Commitment: A rewarding but intensive 9 week rehearsal schedule (Friday/Saturday), culminating in a "Tech Week" and 4 public performances.
Parent Involvement: As a community theater, parents serve on "Show Teams" (sets, costumes, props, etc.) to help bring the magic to life.
Audition Policy: We value commitment. Students who agree to "accept any role" but drop after casting will be ineligible to audition for the following two sessions.
CYT Lite Productions
CYT Lite is ideal for newcomers or experienced younger students seeking featured roles. These shows are for students ages 8-12 and focus on building skills in vocals, choreography, and characterization in a lower-pressure environment.
Format: Rehearsals take place primarily during class time, with one longer Saturday rehearsal and a streamlined tech process.
Production: Simple sets and costumes with two public performances of a licensed 30–45 minute musical! ($5–$10 tickets).
Cost: Standard class tuition + a $100 production fee.
Requirement: Minimal parent commitment. We highly recommend at least one CYT Lite experience before auditioning for the Main Stage!
Please note: Students who audition for a lite show are not eligible for that session's main stage production.
Show-in-a-Week (Summer Camps)
In just five days, students audition, rehearse, and perform a licensed 30–45 minute musical! It’s an energetic, high-speed introduction to the world of theater.
Production: Students often help create the sets, and costumes are typically accessorized camp shirts.
Parent Involvement: None! Just drop them off, help them memorize lines at home, and enjoy the free performance at the end of the week.
Cost: Included in the price of summer camp.
