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!

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.

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.

The story follows a young girl named Fern Arable, who saves a runt piglet from being killed. She names him Wilbur and cares for him until he’s old enough to be sold to her uncle, Mr. Zuckerman. On the Zuckerman farm, Wilbur feels lonely and scared — until he meets Charlotte, a wise and kind spider who lives in the corner of his barn.
​
When Wilbur learns that he is being fattened for slaughter, Charlotte decides to help him. She spins words like “Some Pig,” “Terrific,” “Radiant,” and “Humble” into her web, amazing the humans and making Wilbur famous. Because of Charlotte’s efforts, Wilbur’s life is spared.
As the seasons change, Charlotte grows weak after laying her eggs. She dies at the end of the story, leaving behind her egg sac. Wilbur lovingly protects it until her spiderlings hatch, ensuring that her memory and kindness live on.
