**NEW this year is Adult Skater ONLY Registration
If you are a ISI/USFS tested adult skater or currently taking advanced LTS classes (ISI Gamma/Delta level equivalent) and would like to register for the 2023 Showtime on Ice production, please click HERE for your registration page. Adult-only registrants are not eligible for auditions. They may be cast in the adult skater only group number or may be choreographed into a scene or multiple scenes in the show to enhance the overall production.
COSTUME MEASUREMENTS WILL BE ENTERED IN THE REGISTRATION FORM
We will be asking parents to enter their child’s measurements in the registration form. This is something you should complete before you sit down to complete the online form. Click HERE for a video from our seamstress demonstrating how to take the measurements and an illustrated chart. Bonus – no more waiting in long lines during auditions!
Costume measurements for all LTS skaters will have to be verified on Audition Day. More information on this will be sent out at a later date.
PRINT AND SIGN WAIVERS
We have two waivers that will need to be downloaded, signed, and brought to auditions. You will drop them off at skater check-in.
Cost
Each skater will pay a registration fee and will pay the balance in January 2023. Registration fees include ice time for auditions, rehearsals, and our show weekend, the costume(s), a free Showtime 101 seminar for new skaters, a show program, and an autograph session with the guest skaters on the last day of the show.
Testing Information
If you have a skater that is planning on testing at October 28th test session, here are the guidelines on how to register.
Learn to Skate registrants that are planning on testing for Pre Preliminary before Audition Day.
- Learn to Skate families that have skaters planning to test for Pre-Preliminary free skate on the October 28th test session will still register their skater as Learn to Skate/Basic Skills, and at the current level.
- There is a question in the registration form where the parent can let us know if the skater is testing and if they would like to be considered to be in both halves upon a successful test.

Show Cancellation Policy
During normal show production, a non-refundable deposit is required at the time of registration. This non-refundable deposit represents a portion of the entire show fee. All final balances must be paid in full by January 15, 2023.
- Payment is collected by PayPal online.
- Payment may be accepted by personal check if arrangements have been made with our show treasurer PRIOR to Audition Day (November 5, 2022).

- If the show is canceled AFTER Audition Day (after November 5, 2022) – 50% of the show deposit will be refunded. This is due to the fact that casting takes place immediately after Audition Day and costume order is placed promptly after that date. A portion of the deposit money is used for marketing, setting up facility contracts, and paying director fees.
- If the Show is canceled any time after November 30, 2022 – 20% of show registration fees will be refunded.
