Details for Matilda Jr. Workshops & Auditions

all events held at the Woodland Theatre in Kettle Falls

WORKSHOPS: Saturday April 25th & Saturday May 2nd

On the two Saturdays prior to auditions, director Debbie Stewart and her team will host two Audition Workshops and Parent Meetings.  These two events will cover the same topics so families can choose just one to attend.

Workshop Schedule

9:00am to 9:30am – Parent Information Meeting

During this time, children and parents will be given an overview of the paperwork required for participating in the theatre program, get a general idea of what the commitment entails, and have the opportunity to ask questions.

9:30am to 11:30am – Audition Workshop

Children ages 6 to 18 who are interested in the theatre program will get to tour the theatre, learn what to expect at auditions, engage in some fun activities to get them comfortable on stage, learn about important off-stage roles, and ask lots of questions!

11:30am – Lunch

Participants should bring their own packed lunch just like they would for longer rehearsal days during the summer.  They will learn where eating is allowed in the theatre.

12:00pm to 2:00pm – Interactive Movie Showing

After lunch, there will be a showing of select scenes from the 2022 musical movie version of Matilda.  Scenes will be intertwined with relevant activities that could help kids dial in on which character(s) they might be interested in playing.

 

AUDITIONS: Saturday May 9th

Audition sign-in will begin for all ages at 9:00am.  Those who have already completed their required paperwork can arrive closer to 9:30am.

The youngest age group (6-8 yrs old) can expect to be done around 11am.

Depending on which roles they are auditioning for, children 9 and up may be asked to stay as late as 1 or 2pm.  Event coordinators will communicate with parents about when their children are ready to be picked up.  Parents can wait in the lobby but will not be allowed inside the theatre while auditions are underway.
