Audition to be part of PYT’s “Stories on Stage” repertory company for our 2026-2027 season productions. Stories on Stage is an accelerated acting program for grades 6-12.

Auditions will be held in person at PYT Studios on Sunday, September 3. Prepare a 1 minute comic monologue. Those auditioning in person may also be asked to participate in improv games and cold readings.

Rehearsals will be held Tuesdays and Sundays from 6:30-9:00pm at the PYT Studios. Performances will be on the SecondStage of the Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts.

Each show is a limited cast opportunity, but actors are eligible to be cast in any production for which they are available based upon a conflict calendar submitted prior to auditions. Generally, up to 2 conflict dates for a production are allowed to be eligible for casting for that production. However, any conflicts for SOS make a big impact due to small cast sizes and limited rehearsal time.

Each SOS show will be performed at 9:30am, 11am and a tentative 12:30pm overflow performance on the Friday morning of the performance weekend. Cast members should be prepared to miss school to perform.

The Stories on Stage participation fee is $300 per production. If you register by July 31st, you will receive a $25 discount on your initial registration. If you are cast in multiple productions, you will be billed $300/production for additional shows.
