How to audition
Who can audition:
Spokane Children's Theatre casts productions with actors of all ages. We have cast as young as 5 and have many grandparents in our casts!
(regardless of age, actors must have the ability to follow artistic team directions and be able to focus for rehearsals)
What to expect:
At Spokane Children's Theatre we try to have a relaxed environment for auditions.
What to Prepare:
For musicals we need you to prepare a 1 minute song from a musical. You need to bring a device that can play an MP3 instrumental track of the song you are singing. There will also be a time where you are asked to learn a short choreography for dance. Do not perform a song from the musical you are auditioning for.
For non musical please prepare a 1 minute monologue.
What to wear:
Shoes and clothes you can dance in! If you have long hair, please have it pulled back.
Consent Forward Artists
At Spokane Children's Theatre we strive to make a respectful and safe environment. A Consent Forward Workshop is designed to create a safe, respectful, and empowering environment by teaching performers the importance of personal boundaries, clear communication, and mutual respect. It helps our community understand that they have the right to say no, especially in situations involving physical or emotional interaction on stage, and equips them with the tools to advocate for themselves while collaborating with others. By fostering a culture of consent, these workshops not only support the emotional well-being of young actors but also align with best practices in youth safety and ethical theatre-making.
​
Every cast will have a mandatory consent forward workshop scheduled into their rehearsals.

This fresh and funny adaptation will make even the most jaded folks laugh out loud as it expands the Brothers Grimm tale with new characters who have always lived between the lines of the classic fairy tale. This version, using a fun frame story of a contemporary mom reading to her bickering children, is loaded with bright new faces and comedic twists. We meet a gaggle of forest animals, friendly Dwarf Villagers, a troupe of ladies-in-waiting with a penchant for limericks, the Huntsman’s squabbling conscience and even a nerdy governmental representative from the Department of Natural Resources trying to keep the forest dwellers from ruining the environment!
