Grand Theatre Youth Audition Notice
Disney’s FROZEN, The Broadway Musical

The Grand Theatre operates on the traditional lands and territories of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and Lunaapewak. We value the significant historical and contemporary contributions of local and regional First Nations, and all of the Original Peoples of Turtle Island (also known as North America), and acknowledge the traditional lands upon which we live, work and tell stories together. 
 

OUR COMMITMENT

At the Grand we are committed to creating and practicing a company culture that ensures an accessible, equitable, inclusive, and welcoming space for artists, audiences, donors, board members, and staff. We actively encourage submissions from artists who self-identify as being part of underserved communities. It is our mission to reflect the diversity of our community on and off our stages. If you can imagine yourself in the role, then so can we!  

Access and inclusion are important to us. If you have any questions regarding the Grand’s accessibility policies and initiatives, or any requests, we encourage you to reach out to Vanessa Spence, Associate Producer & Company Manager, at vspence [at] grandtheatre.com (vspence[at]grandtheatre[dot]com).

AVAILABLE ROLES

This beloved story of love, courage, and sisterhood will be reimagined to reflect the rich cultural diversity of our community today. The Grand Theatre welcomes submissions from young artists of all cultural and diverse backgrounds. While inspired by the original film, our production will not aim to recreate it as we wish to more accurately reflect the people and voices of our community. If your young performer sees themselves as the character than we can too!

The Grand Theatre is looking for four (4) young performers. Both roles will be double cast. More information on roles and ages for each role can be found below.
 

Young Anna (she/her) – age 8-11, any ethnicity

Young Anna is the younger Princess of Arendelle. Filled with a tremendous amount of light, energy, and love, Anna is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert. She is a strong singer with great comic timing. Young performer height must be 52 inches or less.

Young Elsa (she/her) – age 9-12, any ethnicity

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Parents/guardians: before submitting your young performer for an audition, please read the following:

While we strive to ensure that auditions at the Grand Theatre are a warm and rewarding experience for all artists, it must be understood that an audition or callback for a role is not a guarantee. Directors and creative team members (music director, choreographer, etc.) base their choices on many factors which may include height, ability to follow direction, or voice type, etc. Please be sure to communicate this clearly to your young performer to ensure that they have realistic expectations about auditioning for this show.

Please submit a resume and recent photo of your young performer for consideration through our form located here: https://forms.gle/pAd75bPvX2vmtx577. Please only submit once. Email submission will not be considered. Please note, we only accept submissions from legal parents/guardians for young performers at this time.

For your young performer, please include their past stage experience or any other relevant performing or training experience, their date of birth, current height and contact information of the parent/guardian.
