Come on stage with Young Company!

Step 1: Explore our season

We're excited to present a diverse range of shows that offers multiple opportunities for young actors of all ages and experience. Find the show that is right for you by exploring the production descriptions above. Make sure to pay careful attention to the rehearsal and performance requirements of each show.

Step 2: Audition

Prepare for your audition by finding a monologue and songs that allow you to demonstrate your range. Remember, all audition material needs to be memorized, so make sure you practice at home. If no audition is required then skip this step. For shows that require auditions, we'll be in touch shortly after the audition process to help you sign up. If no audition is required, you're free to go ahead and sign up once enrollment opens up.

Step 3: Sign Up

Once you have completed any required auditions and made sure that you are able to commit to the production schedule it's time to sign up. For most shows, you'll be able to sign up online, by phone at (405) 606-7003, or in person. Please note that all shows have maximum cast sizes, so it's important to sign up as early as possible. Regular enrollment policies apply for all Young Company productions.

A Christmas Story

The Christmas classic that follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his quest to get a genuine Red Ryder BB gun under the tree for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself, at Higbee's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out!" All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning a lamp shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking; Ralphie's fantasy scenarios and more.

Tuition/Production Fees and Registration Fee

Tuition and production fees are listed in the production information and must be paid in full before we can secure your child's place in the production.

Auditions

Audition requirements vary depending on the requirements of the show. These can be found by reading the descriptions above.

For shows that require an audition
Actors will need to attend in-person or may submit a video audition if they are unable to make the scheduled audition. Actors must prepare a memorized 1-2 minute monologue. Auditions for our summer musical will also require a 1-minute acapella song.

For shows that have optional auditions
Actors have the option of attending an audition in-person, submitting a video audition, or not submitting an audition at all. We recommend attending the audition where possible as it allows our directors to see the actor's ability before rehearsals start. Generally speaking, primary roles are generally assigned to actors that have provided an audition, while those that haven't auditioned are considered for ensemble roles.

For shows that have no audition
Actors are free to sign up for shows that have no audition at any time. Actors will be asked to submit a video introduction prior to rehearsals, which will help our directors get to know their cast. Information about this will be provided in your Welcome Pack, which is posted out after enrollment.

Upcoming Audition Dates
Our next Audition Date will be held in March 2019, with the exact date release Jan 2019. Auditions will be held for our four summer shows, including 'Treasure Island', 'Peter Pan', 'Beauty and the Beast', and 'The Schol Play. A Farce.'
