Rehearsals & Casting Information
In KCT Productions, everyone gets a role! When you register for the KCT Youth 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.
Fall Show: Spinning Out
For our Fall 2025 show, KCT Youth will present Spinning Out, an original musical production about Rumplelstiltskin, a classic fairy tale with fun twists, dynamic characters, and valuable life lessons in problem-solving, friendship, and perseverance.
Synopsis:
Once upon a twisted timeline in the fairy-tale kingdom of Threadonia, the King and Queen are obsessed with appearances, popularity, and royal fashion. When a village tailor boasts that his child can spin straw into gold, the Royals lock the poor spinner in a tower filled with hay—and a deadline to make it fabulous by dawn.
Desperate and doubting their skill, the spinner is visited by a peculiar little man with a big attitude and a catchy theme song: Rumpelstiltskin! He offers magical help… but always for a strange and escalating price. Meanwhile, a trio of royal influencers are live-streaming the drama, a band of rebel sheep are trying to stop the hay shortage, and Rumpelstiltskin has a fan club of imitators that keep showing up in disguises!
Will the spinner reveal the truth? Will the Royals realize that value isn’t just about gold? And can anyone remember how to spell Rumpelstiltskin?

Spring Show: Threads of Deception
As our Spring 2026 show, KCT Youth will present Threads of Deception an original musical production of The Emperor’s New Clothes, a classic fairy tale with a large cast of fun characters, an engaging plot, and empowering life lessons in confidence, group dynamics, and manners.
Synopsis:
In the trend-obsessed kingdom of Vainia, Emperor Extra the First is on a never-ending quest for the next big fashion trend. Every hour brings a new outfit, a new photoshoot, and a new chance to go viral. But when a pair of sneaky “designers” show up claiming they can make clothing so exclusive that only truly cool people can see it, the Emperor is hooked.
As word spreads, the Emperor’s advisors scramble to pretend they can see the invisible clothes, royal influencers stage photo ops with empty hangers, and the townspeople panic about whether they’re still stylish enough to be seen. What will happen when the Emperor parades at the royal fashion show?
