If you are interested in auditioning but are not available for this date and time, after you register, we will send you instructions on how to self tape.

Please check your availability against the schedule below before requesting a time slot!
One absence will be considered for casting, 2 or more makes it a very slim chance that you would be offered a role in the workshop.

After the audition:
Within a week after the audition workshop you will receive an email letting you know if you are accepted into the workshop.

1) If you are invited into the workshop CONGRATULATIONS!  At that time – the remainder of tuition, $150, will be due.

2) If you are not cast and invited into the workshop you will be refunded the $75 deposit and we encourage you to audition again in the future.

3) If you are offered a role that you stated on your audition form that you would accept, but then choose not to participate, your audition deposit is non-refundable as we will use that for the time and resources we will need to use to recast the role.

What roles are available?

Remember, since we are casting ages 5-18, we like to play with age relationships and use creative casting to fill the roles in the best way possible for our production!

Cinderella

Cinderella is a simple peasant girl whose one wish is to go to the Festival. Unfortunately, when her wish comes true she learns that wishes sometimes come with consequences. Cinderella’s inner beauty always shines through her sometimes clumsy and awkward exterior.

Jack

Jack is an energetic young man who is always looking for an adventure. He begins this show as a simple little boy (his best friend is a cow), but by the end of the show he learns a few valuable lessons.

Jack’s Mother

Raising a son and running a farm all by herself has made Jack’s Mother a bit frazzled and most definitely overworked.

Baker

The Baker is a good-hearted, likeable person who believes he can take on the Witch’s curse all by himself. At first, this confidence and his desire to have a child drives him, but he soon learns he needs his wife’s help to accomplish the goal.

Baker’s Wife

The Baker’s Wife is a strong, determined and loving woman whose desire to have a child drives the action of the whole show.

Little Red Riding Hood

Little Red starts the show as a loud, bratty, pushy, glutton who happily manipulates people and situations to get her way. Eventually, she learns some valuable lessons and softens around the edges.

 

Witch

The Witch is an ancient, mysterious and manipulative woman who will do anything possible to regain her beauty and protect Rapunzel. While she may seem old and haggard, she still has the strength to control other people.

Cinderella’s Prince

Cinderella’s Prince is a conceited man who adamantly pursues Cinderella and can’t take no for an answer. When not chasing her, he is trying to show up Rapunzel’s Prince.

Cinderella’s Stepmother

Cinderella’s Stepmother is a mean, evil woman who only cares about her birth children, daughters Florinda and Lucinda.

Florinda and Lucinda

Cinderella’s Stepsisters are spoiled brats who care only about themselves and marrying Cinderella’s Prince.

Cinderella’s Father

Cinderella’s Father will not win any Father-of-the-Year awards. He doesn’t care about his daughter’s well-being or her actions.

Cinderella’s Mother

Cinderella’s Mother comforts Cinderella.

Rapunzel

Rapunzel has been stuck in a tower for the majority of her life. Finally, she stands up to the Witch in order to get out to see the world.

Rapunzel’s Prince

Rapunzel’s Prince is the pompous and arrogant brother of Cinderella’s Prince. Sibling rivalry runs rampant between the brothers, including each brother’s belief that his lady love is the most beautiful.

Mysterious Man

Just like the name suggests, this is one mysterious man. Everything he does is to help the Baker, but he does not explain his motives until the last moment.

Wolf

The Wolf is a sly and dangerous character intently focused on attacking Little Red Riding Hood.

Granny

Granny is a feisty woman who is not afraid to fight the Wolf face to face.

Steward

The Steward is the servant of Cinderella’s Prince. He is dependable and willing to do whatever Cinderella’s Prince asks.

Milky-White

Milky-White is Jack’s cow.
