How can I pay?

What do I bring?

A packed lunch, water bottle, comfortable shoes (closed in footwear able to ‘move in) and loose clothing for movement (Including our exclusive PYT Uniform T-shirt) printed out script, and a pencil!

What are the age limits?

Performing classes are for 6 to 17 year olds sometimes with specific age group splits. 

Theatrical discipline?

Singing, dancing, and acting all require an element of self-discipline. We pride ourselves on providing an authentic theatrical platform on which performers are encouraged to respect each other, themselves, and their environment.

Peace of mind

Our staff are professionally trained with police clearances and working with children checks. We also have qualified first aiders on hand.

Auditions?

Our shows naturally contain solo singing and acting roles, which have to be cast on day 1 of the course. Once you sign up we will give you a password to download songs and/or scripts from our website (The materials will be available approximately 2 weeks before the course). We encourage everyone to learn as much as possible before they arrive. Auditions (which are not compulsory) are then held for anyone wishing to perform a solo item or speaking part.  Our focus is, and will always be, on the production as a whole. We endeavour to give performers as much ‘stage time’ as possible by including them in huge production numbers and creating lots of minor speaking roles.

Learning Lines and Lyrics?!?!?!?!?!?!

We endeavour to do as much as possible to create the best performances at the end of the week. There is, however, one thing that we can't do. We can't learn your lines/lyrics. It is really important to listen to the music as much as possible before the course and to get help learning your lines once you have been cast!

Do I need to provide costumes?

In most cases all that is required is a simple base costume, which we will then accessorise. We don’t expect you to buy anything specific. Details are provided for each course.

PRO TIP: Always have simple plain black clothes (top, leggings or pants) and plain black shoes on hand:)

What happens on ‘show’ day?

The cast usually arrive at the theatre in the morning (9.00am) and stay with us right up to the performance. A double packed-lunch and lots of drinks are required + chocs for the directors :-) Cast are then picked up from the ‘stage door’ after the show. Performances are usually scheduled for 6:30pm. Please check your specific details handed out the week of the course.

How do I buy tickets for the show?

You can buy tickets from a link that we will send out closer to the course.

$35.00 for adults and $25.00 for conc/students $15.00 for chn. (Different prices apply for the Annual Karlee Awards Night.)

What happens if my child is ill and can't make it to a theatre school or changes mind once I have signed up?

We are always happy to roll-over course fees for up to 6 months in such circumstances ($70 admin fee applies). Regrettably refunds are not available.
