CASTING
Parents and actors - we spend hours and hours watching auditions, watching behavior, working with actors and coaching them on acting and dancing and singing. We DO NOT pre-cast roles. We spend time making the best choice to cast each performer in a role that is best for the performer and the show and the individual casts. We value every role. We value every person.
If you have conflicts on dates or will not consider any role offered, we must know prior to casting.
Once a cast list is posted, we will not make changes in roles or cast.
Please support your child and TRYPS by respecting the casting decisions.
Students are encouraged to email the creative team at TRYPS for feedback about his/her audition - tryps@mac.com
