auditions

New Star Children’s Theatre is thrilled to announce auditions for our brand-new stage adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, inspired by L. Frank Baum’s classic book and written and composed right here at New Star. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, the Wicked Witch, the Flying Monkeys, and the Munchkins are all waiting for you!

About the Show

Join Dorothy and her friends on the road to the Emerald City in a fresh retelling filled with adventure, humor, and heart. With original songs and a large ensemble, this production has a place for every young performer on our stage, from the biggest speaking roles to the smallest Munchkin.

Audition Details

February 2027 at Sunrise Community Church, 8321 Greenback Lane, Building E, Fair Oaks. Audition and performance dates and times will be announced soon, so watch this page and our social media for updates.

What to Expect at Auditions

There is nothing to prepare: no monologue and no song. At auditions, we will give you a scene to read and teach you a song to sing in a group and as a solo. We will also teach you a dance to perform at rehearsal. Just come ready to give your best effort and have some fun! We do not expect perfection. We want to see everyone try their best so we can get a sense of each child’s abilities for casting.

Who Can Audition

Any child ages 5 to 17 is welcome, and no experience is necessary. Whether this is your first audition or your fiftieth, you belong here.

Junior Cast Members Return!

We are bringing back our Junior cast member designation for ages 5 to 7. Juniors enjoy reduced rehearsal times and reduced registration fees, and their roles are smaller and easier for younger performers to handle. Juniors still get roles with lines and sing in the songs, so they are fully part of the show.

Our Promise

Every child who auditions is cast in a role with lines. No callbacks. No cuts. Since 1978, more than 5,000 kids have performed on our stage, and not one has been turned away.

Why Families Love New Star

Our cast members become a family. Children build confidence, teamwork, and responsibility while learning acting, singing, and dancing, and many return season after season. We always welcome family participation in our productions.

How to Apply

Complete the audition form on our Forms page. Please register by the first rehearsal; the date will be announced soon.
