You should see the look on my face when I'm on my way
to YES; I’m smiling from ear to ear.

For those who were not cast and alternates...

Thank you for your interest in YES Company and for participating in the audition for the summer production of The Music Man.  Nearly 200 teens vied for a position in either the cast or the crew.

Unfortunately, there are limited acting and crew spaces available.  My sincere wish is that you won’t be discouraged because you were not chosen for this particular production.  Casting is a very difficult procedure.  There were several YES Company alumni that I was unable to cast in order to give others a chance to experience the YES Company program.  During the audition process I had to take into consideration a variety of elements:

  • Schedule conflicts, i.e. summer school, camp, jobs, casting in other community productions, and vacations.

  • Your level of commitment.

  • Your ability to adapt to the audition process and others.

  • Your attitude, confidence, comfort and enthusiasm expressed during the audition.

  • A balanced diversity of entire cast i.e. age, grade, school, level of talent, etc.

  • The number of spaces available for cast members.

I realize that some of you have auditioned more than once and have not been accepted.  Don’t give up!  Before I close, I want to share ones student’s story.  She has auditioned for three summer productions and finally, this year, she is in the cast.  I encourage you to audition again next year. 

Once again, I must express my sincere appreciation for the time you invested at the auditions.  I know the courage it takes to go through this process.  Please continue to participate in the arts. 

Warmly,
Melanee A. Wyatt
Founding Artistic Director/Choreographer of YES Company

For those who were cast...CONGRATULATIONS!

Contract of Commitment

1.   I agree to respect the people, personal boundaries and property of the YES Company Program and all of the rehearsal and performance facilities.

2.   I agree to telephone the director and give 24 hours-advanced notice of any known absence.  In the event of an emergency situation, I will call within 24 hours of said absence.

3.   I understand that meetings will begin and end on time and that arrival 5 minutes after start time is considered tardy.

4.   I will call if I am running late and I will ask the director for permission prior to the next meeting if I need to be absent.

5.   I will give advance notice, in writing, to the director of any schedule conflicts for approval.

6.   I understand, ideally I am not to miss any rehearsals.  If I miss any rehearsals/performances from June 21 - August 1, I understand I may be dropped from the show.

7.   I will not change my appearance without approval from the director, i.e., cut or color hair.

8.   I understand that I am expected to stay for the entire duration of rehearsals and performances, provide my own transportation or carpool with other members, and wear appropriate clothing and shoes (no backless shoes, i.e., sandals or Birkenstocks, no short skirts or baggy pants) to rehearsal.  I will wear assigned costumes for performances as designated by the director.

9.   I understand that I am more than an actor or crew member, that I am also seen as a peer educator, youth advocate, and role model.  For these reasons and also because I am under the legal drinking age, I agree not to use alcohol or any other drugs during the time I am an active participant in the YES Company Program.

10. I understand that if I currently smoke or chew tobacco, I will make an honest effort to stop smoking/chewing.  I will commit to the goal to be smoke-free three months from the date I signed this contract.  I understand that I can not smoke or chew at or around any YES Company activities.

11. I agree to bring and maintain at each rehearsal a performance folder, journal (provided by SCOE) and a pencil in order to note changes in scripts, schedules, etc.

12. I understand that I may be dropped from the program at any time forfeiting any fees if I am unable to maintain the discipline and responsibility necessary to obtain a positive, productive and safe environment to all involved in the production.

13. My position in YES Company will be subject to review by the director under
     the following circumstances:
     a)
 1 unexcused absence
     b)
 2 absences or tardies
     c)
 Use or possession of alcohol or other drugs
