THE IMPORTANT DETAILS
REGISTRATION
Our Summer Musical Theatre has LIMITED ENROLLMENT for 8 (or going into 2nd grade) to 18 year-olds. Registration closes when all spaces are filled or rehearsals start, whichever comes first. Registration forms are time-stamped and we try to make sure our age categories are spread out (we need actors in elementary, middle, and high school), so if an age group is filled (this rarely happens), you will receive an email indicating that you are on a waitlist. Don't panic, sometimes people drop out and space opens back up and you will be notified.
You may pay by cash or check. Please make your check payable to Coastal Act Productions or CAP. Your registration is not complete until we receive your online registration forms AND payment. You may mail payment to us at PO Box 546, Newport, OR 97365. We will send you an email confirming that we have received your payment. You can also email us at capstarsboard@gmail.com to drop off or arrange payment (especially if you want to pay in cash). Unfortunately, we are not set up to take credit cards at this time.
COST
$295 per youth participant
Sibling discount: $250
Tickets to see the show: $10, plus PAC ticketing fees (buying at the box office is slightly cheaper, but less convenient than online)
AUDITIONS
We will have initial auditions by video recording. This is an opportunity for us to hear everyone sing and speak, so that we can properly place you into roles/ensembles before camp. Please record yourself (on your phone is fine) and email it to us, or share it with us on Google Drive at capstarsboard@gmail.com
All audition submissions are due by Sunday, June 4th. We will have callbacks in person on Tuesday, June 13th. If you register after that date, you will not be eligible for a principal role, as we will have cast the principals already. If you don't submit an audition video, no worries, we will still place you in the ensemble. BUT, we'd really like to hear you, so we can get to know you!
Don't stress too much about auditions. Just do your best to enunciate and be clear in your speaking and give it some personality!!
AUDITIONS ARE CLOSED
We will hand out scripts for speaking roles in advance, so actors can familiarize themselves with the script. Everyone else will receive materials on the first day of camp.
The cast list will be posted and scripts handed out for speaking roles by June 21st.

COSTUMES
Shoes: All participants are required to provide black ballet type shoes for use onstage. Shoe size options may be limited if you have large feet.
Tights/Socks: All participants are required to provide tights/socks. We will have more details about this when we know exactly what you need.
There is a possibility you will be asked to provide something to wear under a costume (probably some biker shorts or equivalent). If you have to change clothes, it is usually a quick change that requires something on underneath.
CODE OF CONDUCT
We expect good behavior from all participants. It is important that you read and understand our CODE OF CONDUCT in the online forms. You will sign saying that you have done this. We are not a babysitting service. We are producing a play together. You must behave in a respectful manner, or you will lose your place. We want EVERYONE to have a great time!
No refunds will be given for being removed from Summer Theatre.
PARENTS
We will have a first day meeting for parents and cast. We will answer questions and give important info at this time. Parents may not “hang out” at camp. If you would like to be at camp, ask us for an assignment or responsibility and we will see what we can do to accommodate you. Having groups of adults hanging around is disruptive to our working environment and distracting for the kids. Mostly because it creates side conversations and more noise. As you can imagine, it is noisy enough with all of our actors!
WHO WE ARE
We are a community theatre company. We are not a school theatre, although most of us work in the schools. We have teachers, teacher aides and registered school volunteers running this program.
