Auditions will be by appointment only on July 13 and July 14, 2016. If called to audition please prepare a one-minute comedic monologue. You may be asked to show movement skills and sing for some roles. Be prepared to work with one of our puppets or bring your own puppet. If you are auditioning for Rhyme Time, please prepare a song.
2016-2017 Season:
EXTREME Health Challenge – In the game show tradition, wacky and
entertaining puppet characters face a series of challenges, battles of
wit, and puppetry mayhem. Children laugh and learn about the importance
of good nutrition and active lifestyles. Roles:
Puppeteer must be proficient with hand and rod puppets and good with
multiple male and female character voices.
“Fitastic” is the show host. Requires actor who is physically
fit and can do gymnastic stunts or dance. Should be comfortable with
children as volunteers from the audience are brought on stage to
interact with the puppets and Fitastic.
Rhyme Time and Discover Math and Science – These shows feature toy
theatre size stages, simple paper puppets and shadow puppets, music,
singing, and audience participation for preschool audiences. Our solo
performers must be good singers and very good with small children.
A Good Day for Pancake – This one-man bully prevention show is geared
for K-2nd graders. Puppeteer must be proficient (or able to learn) hand
puppet techniques and must be very good with multiple character voices.
The Upstander League – This bully prevention show is geared for
3rd-5th graders and includes lots of audience participation. Two

interaction with children. Some spoken word singing is required.
