Who they’re looking for
Children ages 7–13 and teens/adults ages 14+ may sign up for audition slots.
Playing age, Equity, understudy… what do these mean?
Playing age is how old a character appears, which may differ from your own age. Equity is the actors’ union; check each theatre’s eligibility rules. An understudy learns a role to perform when the main actor is unavailable.
What does it pay?

What to prepare
Help with headshots, résumés, and self-tapes
A headshot is a clear photo of you. An acting résumé lists your performance experience and training. A self-tape is a recorded audition video. Sides are the short script excerpts the theatre asks you to perform. Follow this theatre’s specific instructions.
How to apply
Sign up for an audition slot using the children (7–13) or teens/adults (14+) sheet. Video submissions are accepted by email. Prepare 16–32 bars of a song from the show or a similar style; an accompanist will be provided. Bring sheet music or recorded accompaniment if available. This is a singing and dancing audition. Wear comfortable clothing for dancing and bring tap shoes if you have them. Arrive 10–15 minutes before your assigned slot to fill out paperwork and bring a list or calendar of conflicts. Applicants with conflicts during tech week or performances cannot be cast. There will be 8 people per 15-minute slot; auditioners sing individually, then learn a short dance routine as a group.
