APPLYING FOR AN AUDITION
All youth actors under the age of 18 require parent/legal guardian permission to participate. All audition requests must come directly from parents/legal guardians, not the youth actor.

While we try to ensure that Citadel Theatre auditions are a rewarding experience for all actors, it is each family’s responsibility to ensure your youngster understands that an audition or callback is not a guarantee they will be offered a role. Please be very sure that your youth does not have unrealistic expectations about being in our show.

If you would like to have your youth audition:

• Read the FAQ for Youth Actors below and note the commitment dates above. If your child is not available for all dates, please do not request an audition.
• Submit your request to auditions@citadeltheatre.com with “Youth Auditions – ANNIE” in the subject line. Please specify the role(s) of interest in the body of the email, as well as any other pertinent details.
• Obtain and fill in the audition application form, which can be downloaded from the link below, or requested from auditions@citadeltheatre.com.
• Please fill out the audition application form and, along with a short resume of their relevant theatre experience and a recent photo of the youth, please email the form, resume and photo to auditions@citadeltheatre.com.
