Smokefall
Rating: TEEN (T) 13+
Change is in the air as Violet prepares to bring twin boys into the world. Inside her womb, her unborn sons contemplate their future, while the world around her is in transformation: her husband is secretly planning to leave her, her father is slipping into senility and her daughter has taken a vow of silence. Haunting and slyly funny, Noah Haidle’s Smokefall explores the lives of this family in a lyrical treatise on the fragility of life and the power of love.
Performances: September 9-11, 16-18
When They Go Low
When social media goes into a frenzy over pictures of a girl at a party, Louise’s teacher lectures all the schoolgirls on taking more responsibility for their actions. Enraged that it’s them getting reprimanded – and not the boys who took the pictures – Louise wages war on the school’s systemic misogyny. But when she threatens popular boy Scott, risking his claim to the School Captain title, things escalate horribly. Natalie Mitchell’s When They Go Low explores everyday feminism, consent and the changing face of teenage sexuality in an online world. Is it always true that ‘when they go low’, we should go high? Rating: TEEN (T) 13+
Performances: September 23-25, 30-Oct 2
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
The irresistible family musical about the trials and triumphs of Joseph, Israel’s favorite son. Told entirely through song with the help of a main character Narrator, the musical follows preferred son Joseph. After being sold into slavery by his brothers, he ingratiates himself with Egyptian noble Potiphar, but ends up in jail after refusing the amorous advances of Potiphar’s wife. While imprisoned, Joseph discovers his ability to interpret dreams, and he soon finds himself in front of the mighty but troubled, Elvis-inspired, Pharaoh. Joseph’s solution to Egypt’s famine elevates him to Pharaoh’s right-hand man and reunites him with his family.
Performances: November 3-6, 10-13
Auditions: Saturday, July 30 at 3pm

Clark Youth Theatre serves students ages 3-18. The 2019-20 season will have expanded programming to suit the varying needs of our students as they age through our program. We have created the CYT Rating System in order to provide our parents, guardians and patrons with as much information as possible about the content of plays. Ultimately, opinions about the appropriateness of content is subjective and is likely to vary from person to person.
The rating system is structured in two tiers: age ratings (A, T, OT) and content indicators (language, violence and themes). Age ratings indicate a maturity threshold below which some parents or guardians may find the content unsuitable.
Content indicators provide insight as to the material within the play that prompted a particular age rating. If the play contains language (L), violence (V), or themes (S) that a parent may deem unsuitable, the rating notes for each production will provide details.
AGE RATINGS
ALL AGES (A) = material has been deemed unlikely to be found inappropriate by any particular age group.
TEEN (T) = content within play may be considered inappropriate by some parents or guardians for children under the age of 13.
OLDER TEEN (OT) = contains material some parents or guardians may consider inappropriate for children under the age of 16.
