Theater Company Auditions
Big roles. Shared stories. A cast to grow with.
Ready for Your Next Act?
For the performer who loves the rehearsal as much as the final bow, Rootz Theater Company offers a chance to go deeper. This advanced, audition-only program brings students together to strengthen their acting, singing, movement, and stage presence while working toward a full production.
Building on the skills explored in Broadway Stars, company members develop characters, take on new challenges, and experience what it means to create a show as a cast.
2026–2027 eligibility: Students entering grades 4–8 in fall 2026.

From Audition to Opening Night
1. Join the Company
The initial audition is for acceptance into Theater Company. It gives students a chance to share their acting, singing, and movement skills.
2. Find Your Role
Students accepted into the company audition for individual roles during fall class time. Every student admitted for the fall 2026 production of The Addams Family receives a role; acceptance does not guarantee a particular part.
A Little Preparation. A Lot of Personality.
Here’s what students prepared for the spring 2026 auditions. Use this as a look at the process, and confirm requirements with our team before any future audition.
Move
Learn a dance at the audition. No prepared choreography is needed.
Wear comfortable clothing and bring water, sneakers, and jazz shoes if you have them.
Sing
Prepare about 30 seconds of a song that feels comfortable and shows off your voice.
Choose a musical theater song or another favorite—it does not need to be from The Addams Family. Sing a cappella or bring a karaoke track on your phone.
Act
Prepare a monologue of 60 seconds or less. Memorization is not required.
Choose something that lets your personality come through. Theater and improv games may also be included if time allows.
