CTA Showstoppers
Our touring performance group!
Showstoppers 2024-25 Season
Announcing the return of the CTA Showstoppers! The Center’s touring performance troop has entertained audiences all over Pittsburgh for years – and we’re BACK! All CTA Students (ages 8-13) are invited to audition for The Showstoppers.
Audition Dates
FRIDAY July 26th at 1pm OR MONDAY July 29th at 11am
We anticipate that auditions will be approximately 1 hour, but the length is subject to the number of students who audition. We ask that parents/guardians/rides stay at the CTA in the lobby or their car during the audition time.
To participate in Showstoppers, ensemble members must be registered for at least two classes – a VOICE class and a DANCE or MUSICAL THEATER/PERFORMANCE WORKSHOP class at the CTA. However, you do not need to be registered for these to audition.
CALL or EMAIL the front desk to sign up for an audition day!

Participation fee: $150.00
If more than one family member is accepted into the Company, the first child will pay $150.00 and the second $100.00. The Company Member and family should be aware that there are other costs involved, such as transportation and appropriate shoes
AUDITION MATERIAL
Please arrive in comfortable clothing you can dance in, as well as dance shoes or tennis shoes (no open-toed shoes, crocs, or sandals, please). We will teach a song and dance combination at the audition. Part of the audition is to observe how quickly your child can pick up and respond to the material. This is a fast-paced rehearsal and performance process. This is not a class.
REHEARSALS/PERFORMANCES
Jump Start Weeks rehearsals are July 29th – August 8th at the CTA from 11 am-1 pm, Monday -Thursday only. The “jump start” week’s goal is to learn the material in the show.
In addition to our Jump Start week there will be 4 clean-up rehearsals in September: Friday the 6th, 13th, 20th & 27th – all at the CTA from 4:15pm-5:30pm.
A schedule of performances will be handed out in September. Show bookings are usually on weekends. We will only rehearse and perform in the Fall of 2024. COMPANY members will also be featured performers in our ONE NIGHT ONLY Fundraising event in March of 2025 at Heinz Hall.
