Rehearsals & Casting Information
In KCT, everyone gets a role! Our program focuses on small ensemble productions, ensuring everyone gets the exciting challenge and rewarding experience of being in a fully-staged musical production. When you register for the KCT Company, you will be cast in the show. Early rehearsals introduce each cast to the show and roles available and let every member participate in an inclusive audition process where everyone is cast in a role.
Participation in a KCT Company requires a serious commitment from actors and their families. Our weekly rehearsal schedule demands full attendance from every member, with conflicts shared in advance to be accommodated. Once casting is complete, there are no exceptions—the expectation is that everyone is present at every rehearsal, contributing to the collective success of the ensemble.
Looking for Acting Classes?
If you’re not ready to make the commitment to join a KCT production, that’s okay! We also offer acting classes for ages 9–12. Head to our Classes page to find the best group for you.
