We are passionate about nurturing talent, not just in our workshops and classrooms but in performance. If you would like to join our many headliners and special guests on stage, enhance your process through a crafted product, or upskill/enhance your work through performance, then we want to hear from you!
The Festival has many performance opportunities open to you and are always eager to see who is out there. We do not mind what your age or experience level, we want to encourage you to audition.
This year, we are looking for performers to participate in:
When I Get My Name in Lights, Backwards and Forwards, Come to the Cabaret, and Busker's Alley.
If you are interested in participating in any of these, please send in a video of one song and if there is something in particular you’d like to be considered for, please state it in your video. Alternatively, you can just submit a ‘general audition’ of a Musical Theatre song and we can evaluate where you best fit.
When I Get My Name in Lights
This is your chance to perform on the stage of Launceston’s beautiful Princess Theatre in a concert that brings together emerging artists with our most established international stars. Individuals can apply for this concert OR you can submit a routine from your school or group for consideration. We welcome any and kinds of Musical Theatre and aim to create a wonderful program encompassing singing, acting and dancing.
Backwards and Forwards
This is an integrated history of Launceston’s theatres which is illuminated with songs.The nature of this piece is that material written prior to 1960’s is preferred.Songs will be chosen at the discretion of the director based on the suitability to align with Launceston history.
Come to the Cabaret
This requires a Cabaret song – not a Musical Theatre song (or a musical theatre song performed in a cabaret style). In the interests of inclusion many of these songs will be chosen on the night but if you have a particular favourite you want considered, please include!
Buskers Alley
requires you to state why you think a particular musical is considered seminal in the development of musical theatre and sing a song from that show, ie Oklahoma orHair or Cats …so we encourage you to research the event through our website and prepare a Musical Theatre song you feel shows you in the best light and is most appropriate for the desired performance.
Please note that you can choose a song of any age or gender expression. We only require one song so make it your best!
In addition, please be aware that there are several masterclasses (see below) presented in conjunction with the Theatre Council of Tasmania that you can also apply to perform in. If you are selected, you will receive a code to unlock and purchase a ticket to 'participate' for $50 (or $25 to upgrade if you have purchased an audit ticket already).
Other classes may ask for you to bring songs, but you do not have to apply for those.
Successful applicants will be contacted by April 8th 2024.
You can submit your work via the form below.
