WHO WE ARE:

You Connection is a nonprofit Christian organization using professional media and theatre to connect audiences of all ages to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We host YC Web, an online streaming site targeting a daily global audience with a unique variety of original films and webisodes, and we produce live theatre for a DFW audience in theatre houses or at our own facility.

​

PROFESSIONALISM:

You Connection is a professional company (meaning we pay our performers and we produce original works for the marketplace), and we expect high standards of excellence from all our performers, including knowing your lines and songs, but also in behavior and conduct.

​

PARENTS OF UNDER 18s:

For performers under age 18, keep in mind we are relying on the parent or legal guardian to display the same level of professionalism regarding schedules, dates, and other details. Please note "parent power" does not work in a professional environment, since this is actually a job that your child is employed at (as opposed to an acting school or youth program).

​

RESIDENT CAST REQUIREMENT:

Resident Performers are part-time monthly performers (literally, an ongoing part-time job) who are required to commit to all film and theatre projects per season (July to July). Production dates must be secured for the duration of the season.​

​

UNAVOIDABLE EMERGENCIES

We expect commitment to You Connection to be taken seriously. The only acceptable reason for an actor pulling out of a performing commitment is in the event of an unavoidable emergency. We cannot accept as "unavoidable emergencies": family plans or work conflicts (this MUST be considered BEFORE you commit), other performance gigs or auditions, minor "head cold"-style illnesses (in which case "the show must go on"), or circumstances that can be avoidable or worked out privately.

​

FAITH & PERSONAL:

We currently do not require that actors be born-again Christians, however all YC performers MUST honor and respect our Christian mission, goals, principles, and content at all times. All YC performers are considered male or female based on the gender you were born with; as a Christian organization it must be respected that we do not accept "gender-bending"; though we cannot interfere with a performer's private life, it must be noted that there cannot be any conflict of interest between a performer and YC's Bible-based mission.
