Scheduled absences should be written on the registration form and approved in advance. More than 3 unexcused absences may result in removal from the show.  You may NOT MISS any of the practices starting August 5th, during Tech week and dress rehearsals.

Disrespect to volunteers or other cast members. We do not turn children away for inability to pay or lack of experience, but we will NOT tolerate disrespect from students or their parents to any of our volunteers or cast members.

 

HOW DID CCCMT START?
CCCMT was started by a family who wanted to provide musical theater experience for their children and grandchildren. CCCMT is a non-profit (5013c) organization. Every child is given the opportunity to perform; regardless of ability to pay or previous experience. We believe that all children should have the opportunity to shine, because talent is only developed when children are given the opportunity.
