THE LION KING KIDS
Auditions
Auditions were held on Saturday 19th November with call-backs on Sunday 20th November.
Rehearsals
Our cast must be available for the following rehearsals. Performers will be asked to leave the cast (without refund) if they miss rehearsals. Allowance will be made for illness if a medical certificate is produced (provided the performer is able to catch-up on anything missed at rehearsal) and commitments that you already have will be taken into consideration but must be noted on your application.
8th-15th January - compulsory intensive week - NOW Arts Centre in Smithfield
Saturdays and Sundays from 21st January to 5th February - NOW Arts Centre in Smithfield
11th-12th February - compulsory final rehearsals - NOW Arts Centre in Smithfield
Thursday 16th to Saturday 18th February - compulsory dress rehearsals & performances - Shedley Theatre in Elizabeth
Production Fee
All performers will be required to pay a production fee of $295. This is due on acceptance of your place in the cast. It can also be paid in three instalments:
$145 on acceptance of your place in the cast
$75 by 31st December
$75 by 31st January
Families will receive a $50 reduction on each of their Productions Fees (this includes families who have performers in both Lion King and Addams Family).
This production fee includes:
Performers will need to provide their own suitable footwear, underwear and some basic costume items. Exact requirements will be given to cast members during the rehearsals.
The Show
This will be a youth production for performers aged 5-14 (must be in Years R-9 at school in 2023). We are considering double-casting the principal roles. We will be performing at the Shedley Theatre in Elizabeth and there will be at least 3 performances. There will also be a pre-show consisting of solo performances from the cast - auditions for these will be held after the show has been cast.
We hope that, after reading this information, you are still excited to be a part of this amazing production.
