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.

Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film, Shrek The Musical is a hilarious, high-energy adventure that turns the fairy tale world upside down. When a grumpy but lovable ogre finds his swamp overrun by banished storybook characters, he sets out on a quest to reclaim his home. Along the way, he’s joined by a fast-talking Donkey and a fearless princess with a surprising secret of her own.
​
-
Mild crude humor and potty jokes consistent with the Shrek film (references to bodily humor and silly gross-out moments).
-
Cartoon-style peril and fantasy violence, including comedic fight scenes and a dragon.
-
Some sarcastic humor and playful insults.
