2022 Fall Auditions

Broadway Bound Children's Theatre is excited to begin our 2022/2023 season! Pre-2020, BBCT tailored our artistic teams and schedule for any number of large cast sizes so that no student was ever turned away from the program. The program's popularity brought in so many kids in 2019 that we had almost sixty students in a rehearsal room every day! Because Broadway Bound values the experience of all children in the program, there are now limits to how many students can participate in our productions. Broadway Bound will have a cap on audition slots this year to ensure that we can rehearse and perform in a meaningful and effective way with cast sizes perfect for the shows. The auditions will be first come, first serve; if you receive an audition time, the student will be cast in the show. There will also be a waitlist of students who sign-up and audition but may not be in the production unless a student drops from the show. This is rare but occasionally happens, so we encourage everyone to audition even if they are on the waitlist.

We are requiring all students to be vaccinated to participate in our productions this Fall

Please Read all of Our FAQs below to make sure you are fully prepared for your Audition!

Due to high interest in Frozen Jr, we have already filled all of our audition slots. Please fill out our waitlist and we will reach out when we open more spots/if anyone drops.

Auditions FAQ

What do I do for the audition?

Do I have to sing?

What if I don't have a great audition?

Auditions are to show us what you can do but even if you don’t feel great about the audition doesn’t mean you won’t get a part. Everyone who auditions at Broadway Bound gets a role! And remember no role is too small! Every character is important in making the show! We also don't give a lot of our ensemble lines until we are rehearsing, they go to the kids who are working hard and show us they can handle it.

Show Information

Show Schedule for Ages 5-11

Rehearsals start the week of September 26th after casting is announced and go until the performances. The kids practice for about 3 months. They will be performing from January 20th to February 5th. Please note these dates could change based on venue availability. If you would like specific dates & times please contact the Broadway Bound Office.

Rehearsals are twice a week from 4:30 to 6:30 each day. When you come to auditions you fill out a conflict form so we don’t overbook your days if you have other after school activities. Broadway Bound typically schedules rehearsals for Mon/Wed, Tue/Thursday with a third option of either Tues/Fri or Wed/Fri. Please keep in mind that these schedules change every season based on what our families request. There are two to three Saturday rehearsals but we let you know those dates once rehearsals begin. It’s also important to note that although our rehearsal schedule is two days per week, as we near the performance dates there may be a few extra rehearsals to fine tune the show and ensure we present a first class production to our audiences. We do take off for Thanksgiving and Winter Break. The rehearsal process may change due to high-interest and continuing covid-19 developments. We may have only one cast rehearsing each day. That would leave Friday for small groups and solos.

Please keep in mind that we try and meet all participants' schedules when we cast. We may ask some clarifying questions or ask if conflicts can change after your child auditions to give them the best role possible. We do this for every one of the almost two hundred kids who come in every season.
