Auditions

Children aged 10-20 are welcome to audition. No experience required! Walpole Children's Theatre has been putting on high quality shows since 1969. We love watching our young actors gain confidence, develop their public speaking skills, and put on best-in-class performances! As always, WCT never charges a fee for kids to be involved in the production.

 

Auditionees will be asked to:

1. Perform the Madame Dido monologue.

2. Perform from a selection of readings from the show.


Please reach out to wctauditionsinfo@gmail.com for any questions or accommodations.

​

Our auditions usually occur in the Spring and Fall for our Summer and Winter performances.

Audition Tips

Volume & Pronunciation – Be Heard!
Make sure we can hear you! Speak up, project your voice, and enunciate so your words are clear.  The director may be sitting close to the stage, but we want to know you can be heard at the back of a filled auditorium. Project your voice to the back of the room.

​

Embrace the Characters
Explore the personality of the characters. The more fun you have, the more we’ll enjoy watching you. Don’t hold back—this is your chance to bring the scenes to life.

​

Make Us Laugh
Find moments to make your performance funny. Think about timing—a well-placed pause, reaction, or movement can make a joke land perfectly.

​

Make a Bold Choice – Stand Out
Give us something memorable. Whether it’s the way your character moves, talks, or reacts, don’t be afraid to make strong choices. Even small details can set you apart. Take a risk and have fun with it.

​

Bring the Energy
Even if you’re playing a slow-moving character, that’s still an active choice. Stay engaged in every moment, even when you’re not speaking. React, listen, and keep the energy up. We want to see characters that feel alive, not just actors reciting lines.

​

Final Reminder:

We’re excited to see what you bring to the table, and we want you to succeed. Trust your instincts, commit to your choices, and let your personality shine. You’ve got this! 🎭✨
