Audition Portal

Welcome to the Audition Portal!

Auditions are now open for the 2026 festival

Auditions close: Monday, 30th March at 9:00am

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. You'll need to send us a video of your audition.

‍

This year, we are looking for performers to participate in:

Masterclasses

Wed 20th, Thu 21st, Fri 22nd

‍There are several masterclasses, led by our festival stars, for which you can also apply to perform. (If you are selected, a cost will be associated with your participation.)

There is a huge range to consider, including;

Delia Hannah

With the Masterclass offered by Delia Hannah, we ask that you choose songs from a production that she has appeared in, in order to get the best coaching in limited time.

Buddy, Les Miserables, Cats, Evita, Chess, Into the Woods, the Pirates of Penzance, Aspects of Love, Blood Brothers and more

Nadine Garner

Nadine is one of Australia’s finest actresses and, as such, is going to focus her masterclass on the approach to monologues. For those wanting to audition for drama school or a general audition at any one of our State Theatre companies, this will be a standard requirement.

‍To be considered for this opportunity, please submit a self tape of a monologue.

Dr Jacqui Hall Cuny

Her class explores the craft and psychology of that elusive game changer — stage presence. Why docertain performers create powerful audience connections and how can those skills be developed.

To be considered for this opportunity, please submit a 1-minute cut of an audition-ready song

‍

New Work Night

Diva Den Thu 21st

Additionally, the festival is proud of its commitment to new Australian writing and, as such, Thursday night in the Diva Den will be an evening celebrating Australian musicals and new Australian work.

We are looking applicants who'd like to, either;

‍Perform an existing piece of Australian Musical Theatre or;
‍Submit a new work for consideration.

If you'd like to perform please submit an audition.

For those who'd like to submit new work please use this portal.

AMTF Emerging Works Submission

Come to the Cabaret

Diva Den Fri 22nd

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! You can just be spontaneous on the night but places are limited so if you want to catch our eye, send in an audition.

Duet Night

‍Diva Den Sat 23rd

This year, we are celebrating a truly unique aspect of our festival; the combination of emerging artists sharing the stage with our brightest stars. This year, emerging artists are invited to research anyone of our guests; Delia Hannah, Annie Aitken, Nadine Garner, Rob Mallet, or Jarrod Draper and consider a duet that they have sung in a musical, as part of their career. Then, the emerging artist is invited to audition their part of the duet for consideration to perform the duet with the headline artist at the diva den on Saturday, 23 May. Those successful, will work with a professional musical director prior to the performance.

Other Notes

Some classes may ask for you to bring songs, but you do not have to apply for those.
You do NOT have to audition for the Youth Karaoke.
If you are coming as a group, please consider applying to be in the ensemble of ‘The Frogs’.
