This script calls for both teens and adults comfortable with puppeteering and playing musical instruments of any kind. There is a magician and magician's assistant in the script so we'd also be thrilled to see your magic skills. Bring your magic tricks and or musical instruments to the audition (piano provided).

Once registered you will receive a confirmation email and be assigned an audition time within two days of the audition.

Prepare for the following in your audition:
Please prepare 3 minutes or less of text to perform for us. It can be anything from a monologue to song lyrics, a poem, something from TV or even the newspaper. We just want to see how you present yourself to an audience and hear your voice.
If you are a musician or magician please bring your instrument (piano provided) and come prepared to show off your skills!
Video auditions may be submitted at any time. Prepare an introduction to yourself then present your text, music and or magic trick. Total video time should be less than 5 minutes. We recommend uploading your video to Google Drive, YouTube or Vimeo and sending a link to info@olyft.org. Make sure anyone with the link has access to it but that it is not public (unless you want it to be).

All experience levels are welcome, and preference will be given to local artists.
Everyone working at Olympia Family Theater is required to be vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination upon hiring. Medical exemptions are allowed on a case by case basis.
