In order to audition, each child must be at least 7 years of age before August 24th, and not older than 12.
The Adults (ages 13 and up) will play the Pirates, Indians, Animals, along with the featured and named roles.

The Audition:
The Children will audition from 2-3 pm on Saturday, 11/2 in the education building, on the playhouse stage and 5:30-6:30 pm on Sunday, 11/3 in the theater. They will be taught to sing “I won’t grow up” as a group, and then will each sing individually. This song does not have to be memorized. They will also be taught a small dance to that song that they will perform in groups. Please wear clothing you can move in (no jeans, please). Also, please wear jazz shoes, character shoes, or sneakers for the audition. We will call some of the children back on Tuesday evening to read and sing for the featured children’s roles.
For the adults, the auditions will consist of 2 parts.
1. Pick one of the musical sides provided for the role (s) that you’re interested in, as well as the ensemble side. We will provide an accompanist, however, you may also bring your own accompaniment on your device. However, please make sure there are no recorded vocals. You may NOT sing A cappella.
2. Dance: On Monday night, you will be taught a dance to be performed in small groups. If you have your vocal audition scheduled for Saturday, you’ll come for the dance audition on Monday at 7 pm, and those that have their vocal auditions scheduled for Sunday will come for the dance audition on Monday at 8:20 pm. Please wear clothing you can move in (no jeans, please). Also, please wear jazz shoes, character shoes, or sneakers for the audition.
Callbacks will be by invitation only, consist of readings from the script and more singing.
