Casting Disclaimer

Carolina Youth Theatre (CYT) desires to include as many students as possible in its productions, however each production has a limited cast and crew size. As interest in CYT continues to grow, the integrity of the program requires that we cast the strongest talent available. Participation in CYT classes or camps does NOT mean a student will be cast in a CYT main stage production. Likewise, prior participation in a CYT production does NOT guarantee a role in the cast or crew. ​​
