Actors Theatre Auditions

Actors Theatre for Young Audiences

Actors Theatre for Young Audiences produces professionally mounted productions for young audiences, performed by older teen and adult actors. The minimum age is 16. These productions are not youth theatre, and roles are cast to reflect adult or near adult performers working in shows designed for children and families. Actors Theatre for Young Audiences will be holding auditions for their next production, The Princess and the Pea.

Prince John must find a princess to marry so that he can claim the throne. A masked ball could be the solution. But his stepmother–the Queen–and her jester have other ideas, complicating the issue with hilarious mischief. Will the true princess be found—one who can pass all the tests?

All roles are paid a stipend. Seeking Non-union actors for the following roles:

Malcolm—minstrel and royal advisor to the Queen. Male preferred. Serves as narrator & has two songs.

Egroeg—mysterious wizard (the king in disguise). Non-singing role.

Prince John–innocent & earnest nice young man. Sings a duet with Meg.

Meg–kindly maidservant to the Queen. Sings a duet with Prince John.

Chita, Deliya & Suspicia–the Queen’s comedically bossy, bawdy, condescending, sneaky and conniving sisters. (This trio sings one song and dances foolishly in another.)

Audition Dates: Saturday, January 10 from 10AM-12PM and Sunday, January 11 from 12-2PM at the ARTfactory.

Performance Dates: Sat 2/28 at 11am and 2 pm. and Sat 3/7 at 11 am and 2 pm.

Pied Piper Theatre Auditions

In the Burning Darkness

PPT Conservatory productions offer a unique opportunity for youth ages 8-18 to work with experienced professionals in a rigorous environment.

Students must possess strong acting skills, be committed to a serious and intense rehearsal process, and have the ability to work well in a collaborative ensemble. Acceptance into the Conservatory is by audition only. There is no registration fee for PPT Conservatory.

This year’s production, In The Burning Darkness by Antonio Buero-Vallejo is a powerful and moving drama set in a school for the blind, where optimism and despair collide. When a new student challenges the others to confront the painful realities they’ve tried to ignore, tensions rise, revealing deep questions about truth, perception, and the human spirit. A poignant exploration of hope and disillusionment, this play shines a light on what it truly means to see.

Audition Dates: December 15 & 16 at the ARTfactory. Callbacks December 17 if necessary.

Audition Format: Prepare a memorized one-minute monologue

Performance dates: March 13 & 14 in the Wind River Theater at the ARTfactory.
