Afterschool Experience + Auditions

Neverending Story Auditions

Ages 10-14

Do you love acting? Do you want to perform in a play alongside professional adult actors? Would you like to perform a show many times for thousands of families and school groups? The Children’s Museum & Theatre of Maine is seeking young actors (ages 10-14) for a production of The Neverending Story that will begin rehearsals in January and be staged in April 2024. The schedule is rigorous. Actors are expected to commit to the calendar, and all young actors will be double-cast in both productions. If you’ve never auditioned before, don’t worry! Our audition process is designed with the first-time auditioner in mind. We begin with theatre games and read some scenes from the play in small groups. The director may ask you to return for callbacks to hear you read again before making final casting decisions. Intergenerational productions are opportunities for young and adult actors to perform together. All adults in the play are fully vaccinated, and background checked. This is a unique opportunity for young actors to be mentored by adult actors and participate in a professional theatre environment.

We encourage all interested actors to audition. At auditions, you will be asked to notate your conflicts with rehearsals and performances on a paper calendar. Please bring your schedule and be as honest as possible. Depending on the make-up of the group, sometimes we can accommodate scheduling conflicts, and sometimes we cannot. Availability does play an important role in the casting process, but it's not the only factor, and sometimes we can make scheduling conflicts work.

FREE to Attend.
