Audition Registration ~ POPPINS JR
Treehouse Theater will present four MAIN STAGE performances of MARY POPPINS JR as our Spring 2024 musical production, celebrating the final show of our 12th SEASON. 

This fabulous musical will be led by:
    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR / PRODUCER - Karen Rohrer
    DIRECTOR - Chris Andacht   
        ASS'T - Erin Nycz, Sydney Rabas
    MUSIC DIRECTOR - Jennifer Kasten
    CHOREOGRAPHERS - Madde Gilmore and Katie Jo Shimulunas
    STAGE MANAGER - John Iannitello

AUDITIONS are open to students, ages 8-18, and up to 60 actors will be cast.  We anticipate a large turnout of students at auditions and will likely cast only a few students age 12 and under ~ students ages 6-14 have the option to audition for Aladdin KIDS on Jan. 11 & 13 ~ LINK to register.  

ALL ROLES are earned through Auditions, with consideration given to your conduct during auditions (respect for the studio and for others auditioning) as well as any recent rehearsal behavior and/or attendance issues.

Please do NOT register to audition IF you/your child is:
  • unable to highly prioritize our rehearsals (T/Th/ Sat) within the family calendar
  • only interested in being cast as one (or small number of) specific role(s)
We don't "offer" roles to students; we cast those deemed to best fit the Director's vision; then we expect students to bring their best effort to each role(s) and to support all other cast members.

Mary Poppins Jr features a new Director for Treehouse with a slightly different audition process.  All auditioning students should fully PREPARE AND MEMORIZE:
  • SONG* (from a "Golden Age" musical, with accompaniment, up to one minute in length)
  • SIDE** (short scene)
*SONG:  select your own OR review our list of recommended "Golden Age" shows / songs (will be attached to your confirmation email) to find a few songs that will likely highlight the most solid part(s) of your vocal range.  Practice a few of the songs and then pick the best one for YOU; then fully memorize the song through practice.  We assess auditioning students on their preparation, delivery, vocal range, projection, diction, and polish, so be sure to practice, practice, practice your chosen song as this will help to minimize nerves.


**SIDE: based on your age, review our short scenes. Practice the one that applies to you and once memorized, add emotion, inflection, good diction, interest, and movement where it feels appropriate.

AUDITIONS are offered during these 90-minute time slots:
  • TUESDAY, Jan. 2:  3-4:30 pm OR 5-6:30 pm OR 6:30-8 pm
  • THURSDAY, Jan. 4:  5-6-30 pm OR 6:30-8 pm
WHAT TO BRING and WEAR:
Bring a labeled water bottle and your downloaded music track accompaniment for your song.  Wear clothing that is comfortable to move in as you will be tested on rhythm and keeping the beat plus learn a short dance combination.  If you have jazz or ballet shoes, please wear them; otherwise, tennis shoes are okay too.  ** If cast, students will need to wear/purchase jazz shoes for rehearsals and performances (available at the studio for $30).

PARENTS of auditioning students are welcome to stay, assuming they simply observe quietly.
