Join us for our production of Shrek The Musical in September

 

We would love to hear from young people who wish to perform in our productions, to follow in the footsteps of hundreds of cast members who have taken to the stage with us since 2013.

 

We are also keen to offer experience to anyone interested in technical theatre who would like to work alongside professional technicians involved in lighting and sound during our production week at Derby Theatre.

 

Membership

 

• Membership of DYMT is by audition only in February 2026.

• Membership is open to any young person 13 years or older on 1st February 2026 and 25 or under on 20th September 2026, the date of our last performance.
• A non-refundable audition fee of £10 is required, payable on arrival for the audition.
• Membership guarantees a place in our next production.

 

Annual membership subscriptions

 

• Our membership fee for 2026 will be £150. This can be paid in two instalments: the first one of £75 at the first rehearsal in March and the second of £75 at the first rehearsal in September. A 10% discount will be given if the total discounted fee of £135.00 is paid at the first rehearsal.

• The membership fees go a very small way towards the escalating costs of a production. It helps to pay for rehearsal room hire and insurance which we take out.

 

Rehearsals

 

• Our rehearsals run from spring auditions, with a short summer break, up to the performance in September, on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

• Rehearsals normally take place on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons (with possibly some Sunday evening rehearsals), at Caroline Green School of Dance and Theatre Arts, 125 London Road, Derby DE1 2QQ.

• If necessary extra rehearsals will be included nearer our performance dates.

• Full details of the rehearsal schedule will be distributed in spring 2026.

 

Terms of Membership

 

• We take rehearsals very seriously and all cast members are expected to be on time for the start of any relevant rehearsal. We exercise the right to ask any cast member to leave the cast if he/ she is constantly late/ absent from rehearsals. Absences, etc., put a much greater strain on other cast members. When a cast member leaves the company no refund of fees will be made.
• A commitment to the production involves a commitment to all aspects of being a member of DYMT. This includes being present, if necessary, at the get-in and get-out of the production, promoting the show wherever possible, and helping with any fund raising activities the company takes on.
• We expect all members to act in a professional and respectful manner both at rehearsals and during production week at the Derby Theatre.
• Failure to pay the annual subscription in accordance with our policy above may require a cast member to be excluded from any further involvement in a production.
• By becoming a member of DYMT you accept to abide by the Terms of Membership and to uphold the good name of this company at all times.
• We reserve the right to terminate membership if the terms of this membership are not adhered to.
