  • Stories on Stage Auditions

    If you're age 12 and up you won't want to miss the chance to audition for PYT's 2008-09 Stories on Stage season!

    Participants in the Stories on Stage program have an outstanding opportunity to work with PYT directors in a small-cast environment. As these shows are typically not musicals, students focus on basic theater skills such as character development and projection.

    This year's Stories on Stage season also includes three world-premier productions, so students in those shows will be part of developing new works for the stage.

    Students may audition for the whole season, or select only certain months they are available. Participants must be 12 by the time rehearsals start for a given show, so if you are 11 and will be turning 12 before the end of the season you are also able to audition.

    Auditions will take place Sat. Sept. 13 at 2pm at Mountain View Community Center 201 South Rengstorff Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94039-7540. PLEASE NOTE: as PYT is undergoing construction auditions are NOT at the PYT studios.


    Pardon our Dust!

    PYT is in the process of undergoing some much needed facilities renovations. We hope that this work can be completed with minimal impact on our programs and services, but there may be times where portions of the building are off-limits to parents and participants. We ask that you help us by staying out of any restricted areas marked by caution tape.

    The PYT offices and studios will be closed while the major structural work is being completed over the next two weeks. Already scheduled activities have been moved to the following locations:

    Sound of Music Callbacks: Cubberley Theatre - see callback sheet for specific instructions
    Stories on Stage auditions 9/13: Mountain View Community Center, 201 South Rengstorff Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94039-7540
    Sound of Music parent meeting 9/15: Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts SecondStage. Enter through main lobby.
    Sound of Music rehearsal 9/16: Bubb School Multipurpose Room, 525 Hans Ave, Mountain View, CA 94040
