Audition Info

Cresson Lake Playhouse Youth Theater is thrilled to announce auditions for this season’s production of Disney’s Dare to Dream Jr. Students in grades 3–12 are invited to take part in this magical musical revue celebrating beloved Disney songs and stories.

Audition Dates & Times

Grades 3–5

• Sunday, February 22 | 2:00–3:00 PM

• Monday, February 23 | 6:00–7:30 PM

Grades 6–12

• Sunday, February 22 | 3:30–6:00 PM

• Monday, February 23 | 7:30–9:00 PM

Students should attend one audition session for their grade group. Siblings who wish to audition during the same time slot may do so with advance notice.

What to Prepare

All students will:

• Read a short monologue provided at auditions (no memorization required)

• Be encouraged to perform with clear intention and character choices

Vocal selections will be:

• Grades 3–5: A selection from “Dig a Little Deeper”

• Grades 6–12: A selection from “Be Our Guest”

Music will be briefly reviewed at the start of each audition session. Students should arrive familiar with their selection, as time will be spent practicing together rather than teaching from the beginning.

You can download the monologue above. There are tracks to assist in your prior to auditions.

Audition Form & Conflicts

An online audition form must be completed before arriving – https://forms.gle/CHrUmfQvudvnbDFJ9

Families should list all scheduling conflicts and submit a calendar if possible. Conflicts are especially important this season, as the production will feature two casts, which will be determined after auditions. If you would like to write out your conflicts and bring them to the audition, a calendar is provided here.

Conflicts shared before casting will be considered. Conflicts submitted after casting may not be accommodated, and students will be expected to attend all assigned rehearsals.

If a form has not been submitted in advance, families will be asked to complete one before auditioning.

Day of Auditions

Upon arrival, the stage manager will:

• Confirm the audition form is on file

• Assign each student an audition number (this determines audition order)

A group photo will be taken during auditions for internal use only and will not be shared publicly.

After auditioning, students are free to leave. Casting results will be sent via email to all families. Staff may reach out by phone or email if clarification is needed on a form.

Performance Dates

Families should plan ahead for performance week:

• School Day Performances: May 7 & 8

• Public Performances: May 7–10

Specific cast assignments and performance schedules will be announced after auditions.
