There are many ways for youth to be involved with CLOC!
Youth usher: Our ushers are volunteers ages 10-18 that assist the audience in finding their seats and providing a copy of the program.
In addition to seeing the show for free, all of our ushers are enrolled in our CLOC’s Young Critics Circle, where they are given the opportunity to think critically about each performance and voice their opinions in our weekly newsletter published on the YCC board located at the theater.
Ushers can volunteer for evening shows (Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday ) or the afternoon matinees (Wednesday and Thursday) throughout the season. If you are interested in being a youth usher please send an email to [email protected]. Please note, interested parties will not receive more information until mid June when the summer box office team is in place.

Youth artist: Our youth artist program is open to kids ages 8-14, to fill children’s roles when the season requires younger performances. Experience is not necessary prior to audition; our creative team works with youth artists to help them feel comfortable and confident on stage.
Youth artists must be ready to act and sing on stage, take direction, memorize their lines, and work with large groups of other actors of all ages. Specific info about dancing or other physical requirements will be included in audition information.
Rehearsal schedules vary but often include Sunday nights during pre-season in June, and then a week of daily rehearsals leading up the show. Daily rehearsals may run anywhere from 9am-10pm; youth artists are invited to join the company for meals when on campus for multiple rehearsal sessions. Performance week consists of 5 evening performances that may end as late as 10:30pm and 2 additional matinees.
Auditions will be held in the winter before the season starts in June. Please email [email protected] for information on this year’s auditions.
