Traverse City Children's Theatre (TCCT) is going Broadway!
TCCT's 'Li'l Broadway', is made up of a series of special classes in acting, dance and singing that will culminate in a major performance of an adapted Broadway hit play—these shows are just like the great Broadway hits, only slightly shortened for its student cast.
How does it work?
Throughout the spring, summer and fall, look for classes on our schedule marked with the Li'l Broadway logo. For students interested in auditioning for our Li'l Broadway shows (usually in performing in December), they must first have taken the Li'l Broadway classes in singing, acting and dance, which will be labeled as Li'l Broadway classes 1, 2 and 3. Enrollment in TCCT's Summer Performing Arts Camp will fulfill all 3 requirements.
Do students have to take these particular classes to audition?
No. Similar classes taken at other institutions can be regarded as fulfillment of the requirement provided that the student can demonstrate that they have received the prerequisite training. Involvement in previous sessions of TCCT's Summer Performing Arts Camp will also be accepted.
Does taking the Li'l Broadway classes guarantee being in the Li'l Broadway productions?
No. These classes are likely to improve a student's chances of joining the cast by covering scenes, dances and songs that will be used during the audition, but being cast in the play is NOT guaranteed.
When are the auditions?
Auditions will tend to be held at Old Town Playhouse in late September. Rehearsals begin early October and run Mondays through Thursdays from 4:00 to 6:15. Some Saturday rehearsals may be added. Students enrolled in Li'l Broadway classes during the fall can still audition.
There's a tuition of $90 to $95 for each of the Li'l Broadway classes; will cast members of Li'l Broadway production also pay a tuition?
Yes. The rehearsal process will include a continuation of the training received during the prerequisite classes. The tuition for cast members will be $120. As always, tuition assistance is available for families in need.
Can a student enroll in a Li'l Broadway class without wanting to audition for the December production?
Sure! Students who just want to take a class without being in the show are welcome.
I still have questions!
