Youth Auditions - ANNIE & Fun Home

The Media Theatre is holding auditions for YOUTH ACTORS (ages 8 - 17) for their upcoming professional BROADWAY SERIES productions of ANNIE & Fun Home. See production breakdown for details and audition information. PLEASE NOTE: these auditions are separate from our typical Education Department offerings.

Thursday, Sept 11 at 4:30pm

@ The Media Theatre
104 E State Street, Media PA 19063

The Broadway Series

The Media Theatre presents between three and five professional productions each season. These productions generally rehearse during the day and some evenings. As ANNIE and FUN HOME will have youth actors participating, every effort will be made to adjust some rehearsals to limit the conflict with school hours. There will still be school hours that must be missed for both some rehearsals and performances. The attached calendars below show the entire rehearsal process, and does not fully reflect the specific hours each young actor will be called to rehearsal. No rehearsal for youth actors will be longer than 5 hours. Each production will have a Child Supervisor dedicated to specifically monitoring the youth actors’ onstage and offstage schedule. 

The Audition

Please bring a short cut of an uptempo musical theatre song with sheet music to provide to the piano accompanist. Generally between 30 seconds to 1 minute. Please bring an updated headshot & any applicable resume for each young actor. 

Sign-in will begin at 4:00pm and parents are welcome to wait in the holding room while young actors sing individually, one-by-one in the order in which they arrived.
