The 7th Street Superstars audition once a year and meet and perform through that year (September to June). Eligible auditioners are in 8th through 12th grade and ages 13 through 18 at the time of the auditions. Auditioners must also have prior experience in CCCT and/or CCT (shows, classes, camps).
Auditioners must attend the entire audition time, from 8:30am to 12:30pm. This is the one and only audition for the season.

Important note: Superstars DO NOT need to be vocalists. Vocal skill and/or training is not required. But Superstars must be willing to perform vocally.

Please come to the audition in comfortable clothes you can move in and closed-toe shoes (no heels). Bring water and a snack. Be sure you are well rested and have eaten before you arrive.

Auditioners must complete all forms and BRING THEM to auditions (with parent/guardian signatures). Forms can be found here:

Auditioners must also complete the audition form prior to the auditions. The form is found here:
https://forms.gle/TuokuDJofZqdUkN89

Finally, auditioners should prepare two audition pieces. SELECT ANY TWO of the following three:
* a monologue of about 1-2 minutes, either dramatic or comedic (off book)
* a musical theatre song of about 90 seconds (either upbeat or ballad; bring backing track)
* about 90 seconds of an original or published instrumental piece (bring your own instrument unless a piano)
Ideally, your two pieces will show different aspects of you as a performer, so that of your monologue, for example, is comedic, your song or instrumental should be a ballad or dramatic.

"Big City" was our moment to make big moves. Our campers headed to LA where they wrote, filmed and edited their very own films together! They stopped by Chicago and found themselves doing stand up comedy. Last stop was NYC where they took Broadway by storm!
What a way to finish camps this summer. We'd like to thank all of our summer camp families for participating, and to our campers; we love you and we are so proud! See ya next year!

So You Think You Can Crew? Yes we do! This week we had our first ever tech camp and the crew was incredible. They spent all week learning and executing professional level crew skills.

We love our techies!
