The workshop is open to all children entering grade 2 through grade 12 in the fall.

Every child must audition to attend the program. There are NO exceptions. Please note that the auditions are used only for determining placement in the program, not for determining if a child is eligible to enter the program. The program is limited to 100 children. In the event that more than 100 children audition, a lottery will be held to determine which 100 children get into the program. 

Each child is to bring sheet music or an instrumental recording and be prepared to sing. An accompanist will be provided. The workshop will be held at Bacon Academy Auditorium, July 14 through July 25, Monday through Friday, 9-Noon, cultimating in a show on July 26 at 2:00 p.m. The program fee is $90 per child, payable at auditions. There is an additional $15 for non-residents(waived for CCT members). Enrollment and health forms will be completed by parents and/or guardians at auditions as well.

The actual musical for the workshop has not been selected to date. CCT is currently researching suitable material.
