About Auditions (Where do I go? What do I do?)
When are auditions? Where do I go?
Auditions are June 25th & June 26th at 2:00 PM at the SCT Playhouse: located at 518- 1st Ave. E. in Spencer. Doors open half an hour prior to stated audition time. Please note that it is not necessary to attend both audition times; one or the other will suffice.
Who can audition? What kinds of roles are available?
Roles are available for youth ages 6-14. Roles and character descriptions are listed at the end of this announcement!
What do I need to bring with me? Should I prepare anything in advance?
Please be prepared to sing, dance, and act! We’ll have a song for everyone to sing, teach a short piece of choreography, play some theatre and improv games, and read from the script.
You are welcome to read the script beforehand-they are available for checkout at the SCT Business Offices. If you would like to check a script out, please call 712-262-7336 and schedule a time to stop by. Our summer business hours are Tuesday-Friday, 10 AM – 5 PM. Please be aware of any potential scheduling conflicts-there will be room on the audition form for you to list your availability.
Closed Auditions
Auditions for Disney’s Aladdin Kids are closed, meaning that only the individuals auditioning and the Directing/Management team of the production are allowed in the audition space.
Dropping Off & Picking Up
Auditions will last approximately 2 hours, but this is just an estimation- the number of kids who show up to audition affects how long they run; we do our best to keep it within 2 hours. Please come in with your child to auditions at the beginning so you can fill out the audition form for them, or help them fill out the audition form (this is especially important in regards to the schedule part of the audition form). Once the form is filled out and auditions begin, we ask that parents/guardians leave and come back after a couple of hours. You may also instruct your child to call you when they are finished with the audition; a phone will be available for them to call you.
About the Show (What is Disney’s Aladdin Kids?)
What’s this show all about?
MUSIC BY Alan Menken
LYRICS BY Howard Ashman, Tim Rice
BOOK BY David Simpatico
MUSIC ADAPTED AND ARRANGED BY Bryan Louiselle
When the street urchin, Aladdin, vies for the attention of the beautiful princess, Jasmine, he uses a genie’s magic power to become a prince in order to marry her. Iago, Jafar, the Genie, and more are here in Disney’s Aladdin KIDS, a musical adventure filled with magic, mayhem and the power of love.
When are rehearsals?
Rehearsals are from 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM Sunday-Thursday, although they will run later the week the show opens. Rehearsals begin Monday, July 11th and run until the show opens on August 4th. Not every person is called to every rehearsal; the time commitment typically depends on the size of the role! Rehearsal may look a little different from time to time due to SCT’s commitment to providing a safe, healthy experience for all those involved with the production, and we appreciate your patience and willingness to work with us as we continue to make theatre happen.
When are performances?
Performances are: August 4, 5, 6 at 7:30 PM, August 7 at 2:00 PM.
Where are performances?
