About the Audition Process
First and foremost: RPL auditions are designed to be fun and empowering experiences for kids of all ages. And best of all, every child not only gets a role, but a part that is specifically designed and tailored for them!
We see auditions as an opportunity to get to know each child, and connect with them 1:1 to celebrate their individual personality. We love seeing returning RPL performers come back with expanded confidence with each audition! We also love welcoming new kids and getting to know them in a safe and encouraging environment. When it's a child's first audition experience, we go out of our way to make it an ultra-positive one!
Some notes about the audition process:
* Once the audition signup form is available, reservations are taken on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to be notified when the auditions are ready to sign up, please contact us.
* Children age 4-19 are welcome to audition. Our goal is to make auditions a fun, empowering experience where the kids feel great!
* For this show in particular, we need youth of all ages participating, from older kids who can play high-school age characters with emotional maturity, to younger children of all ages.
*We create a role for every single child participating! As we produce our own original musicals, we can freely adjust script and songs to give every child a chance to shine.
