Children's Theatre Program
2025 Children's Theatre Auditions
Children’s Fairyland is seeking young actors ages 8 to 11 who would like to imagine, play, and perform on stage. The goal of the program is to engage aspiring young thespians in process-focused theatre training and to share the magic of storytelling through theatrical presentations.
In 2025, we will be showcasing the following two productions and therefore, strongly encourage children who have experience with traditional Chinese and/or Japanese performing arts experiences to apply.
- The Empty Pot (A Chinese folktale)
- Momotaro, Peach Boy (A Japanese folktale)
Auditions for our Children’s Theatre program in 2025 is on Saturday, April 12 & Sunday, April 13. To schedule an audition, submit a request here. https://fairyland.formstack.com/forms/auditions
Here is a peek at what the audition process looks like.
Each participant is invited to prepare a three-minute showcase of their talents for the audition. Auditions should include:
- An introduction: Say your name in a loud, clear voice, and tell us what you'll be presenting for your audition.
- A memorized monologue, speech, poem, or other text.
- A bit of song: We're happy to hear songs with recorded accompaniment (please bring your own device to play the music on), but acapella is also fine.
- You can also show us a bit of yourself dancing, or playing an instrument, or any other performance skills you would like to share.
Following the audition, we will speak with participants and their families in an informal interview format.
Your child doesn't need any experience! Our artistic and education staff will make selections and casting decisions based not only on stage presence and vocal quality but also on enthusiasm, ability to focus, and desire to commit to the program.
Applications OPEN on January 24
Important Deadline: Please apply by Monday, March 31, 2025, 12:00 p.m. PST.
Age requirement: Must be 8 years old by April 1, 2025.
