Description

Take your performance skills to the next level in this elite holiday performance ensemble. Selected through a video audition, Holiday Tour Group is designed for dedicated performers who are ready to represent CYT through polished, high-energy performances during the Christmas season.

CYT Tour Groups serve as ambassadors for CYT, bringing the excitement and excellence of musical theater into the community through performances in smaller venues and at a variety of special events. As a member of this ensemble, you'll represent CYT with professionalism, character, and outstanding performance quality wherever you go.

Students will rehearse an exciting repertoire of holiday music, choreography, and theatrical staging while refining their vocal technique, dance precision, stage presence, and professionalism. With a focus on excellence, performers will learn to deliver engaging, performance-ready productions that captivate audiences in a variety of community and special event settings.

This fast-paced ensemble requires commitment, a strong work ethic, and a passion for performing. Members will be challenged to grow as versatile performers while working collaboratively to create a polished holiday showcase that reflects the highest standards of musical theater. If you're ready to perform at your best, represent CYT with excellence, and share the joy of the season through outstanding performances, this is the ensemble for you.

Hi I’m Olivia! I have been a part of CYT for many years now, participating in shows, and now teaching for almost 3 years! Theatre has always been a passion of mine- I love seeing and helping children find that same passion, and use it to glorify Jesus! I have always wanted to be a dance teacher, and I absolutely love being able to do so at my most favorite place!! Can’t wait to meet you!🫶🏼
