Journey Theater is seeking performers ages 8 and up. The theater will be casting dancers/singers to play multiple ensemble roles, as well as kids & adults who are strong singers/actors to play various roles.

Please prepare 16 bars (about 30 seconds) of a musical theater song that shows off vocal range and technical ability. We will not allow songs to be performed a cappella so please bring an instrumental track (downloaded audio file - no streaming, please). If you are auditioning for a specific role, please be familiar with the songs from the show, as you may be asked to sing a selection at auditions. All auditioning MUST bring a current headshot and resume in addition to audition forms.
