the cast list for CCT's production of Disney's Finding Nemo JR
has been posted - PLEASE read below before viewing the list

Please find the Cast List below. If you auditioned for the production it is VERY important that you read through the Cast List Email entirely in addition to searching for your name on the list. If you are cast as a Full-Time actor, be sure to look through each ensemble group. Most actors will only participate in one ensemble group, but some actors (including leads) may be assigned to multiple groups. If you were cast in Vocal Ensemble, you should also find your name in at least one other group (which could include the Lead/Supporting group).

 

If your name is NOT listed below, PLEASE audition again in the future! While we wish we could have cast every actor who auditioned, it just wasn't possible for this production. Like we mentioned in the email; Casting a production is like assembling a puzzle. The pieces have to match the picture of the puzzle and they also have to fit together with one another. If your puzzle piece didn't fit into our Finding Nemo puzzle, that doesn't mean it won't fit into the puzzle for a future CCT production. Each production has different needs and comes together differently, and we'd love to work with you in future shows!

next steps for actors

We can't wait to begin working on the show with you! The next step for each actor who has been cast will be to read through the Cast List email (if you haven't yet). attend the Script Pick-Up, which will be held on Wed. May 25 from 6:30pm - 9:00pm. During this time, actors will receive their rehearsal materials, some actors will be measured for their costume, and new actors/parents will be asked to attend a short information session where they can learn about what to expect during the rehearsal process and ask any questions they may have. An email will be sent on Monday with additional details.

 

If you cannot attend the Script Pick-Up you MUST email info@castleco.org to let us know - or we will assume you no longer wish to participate in the production. 

 

In the meantime, please keep your schedules open as your participation in the show depends on you being able to attend all of your assigned rehearsals. If you have questions please email info@castleco.org and we will do our best to get back to you. 

 

Please note that email responses may be delayed as we are preparing for our Set the Stage fundraising event this Sunday, May 22! This event helps raise funds to support The Wizard of Oz production this summer. For information about the event, please click the link below. The event is open to all community members (regardless if they are participating in the show or now).

actor FAQs

When is the Participation Fee due? 

The participation fee will be due at the begining of February and extensions may be granted for those who need them. 

 

How do I apply for Participation Fee assistance?

Fee Assistance is offered through CCT. Information on Fee Assistance will be provided with your rehearsal materials. 

 

How do I purchase tickets to see the show?

Tickets will be available to purchase online sometime within the next one-three weeks. We will send an email to let you know when tickets are available to purchase.

 

My name is listed under Vocal Ensemble. What does that mean?

Members of the Vocal Ensemble will be singing in several songs throughout the production. A lot of the singing will be done off-stage and some will be done on-stage. Each actor in the VE should be assigned to at least one other group on the cast list (which may include a lead/supporting role). This group indicates the song you will perform in on-stage. Some actors may be assigned to multiple groups right now, and others may be added to additional groups at a later date, pending their rehearsal availability. We know it's a little vague, but we promise it will be a fun role, and a BIG part of making the production sound amazing! The VE creates the musical back-bone for the entire show!

 

What if I don't like my role?

We understand that actors may not like the role they have been cast in, unfortunately no one is permitted to change their role in the production (unless a scheduling error was made by the casting team). While we do encourage everyone to step outside their comfort zone and give their role a try, if you are certain you do NOT want to accept your role, that is ok. Simply email info@castleco.org (by the end of the weekend) with you/your actor's name and let us know they no longer wish to be in the production. 

 

What if I want to be considered for MORE roles/parts in the play? 

Sometimes CCT may add actors to additional ensemble groups. This happens if an actor chooses to drop and we need additional actors in the group OR if we simply decide we want a larger ensemble than we originally expected we'd need. You do NOT need to inform CCT staff if you want to be considered for more roles. CCT staff selects actors for additional roles based on the commitment they show to past and current roles/productions. CCT staff assumes that all actors would be interested in doing additional roles.
