Open call to young performers for Engeman Theater’s Frozen Jr. production
The John W. Engeman Theater in Northport Village is having virtual auditions for Frozen Jr. in preparation of its winter production. The theater is seeking young performers between the ages of 10 and 18, only.
Auditions are submitted electronically and call backs will be in person and held by appointment at the theater. To audition, performers must prepare 16-32 bars of a song from Frozen or a similar Disney production and complete this form.
Rehearsals begin January 26 and the show runs on weekends from February 12 through March 13. Potential performers are asked to indicate any scheduling conflicts for rehearsal and production dates.
There are thirteen roles open for the Frozen Jr. production, including the following:
Young Anna: Young actress who appears 8-10 years old. Female, Vocal range: D5-A3
Anna: Anna is a hopelessly optimistic extrovert at all ages, but as she grows older, she longs for connection with others, especially her sister, Elsa. Each version of this warm and determined princess requires a strong singer with great comic timing. Female, Vocal range: B4-G3
Young Elsa: Young actress who appears 8-10 years old. Female, Vocal range: C#5-A3
Elsa: Elsa has been born with magical powers that can overwhelm her when she becomes afraid and harm others if not handled with care. Fearful of hurting anyone, especially her beloved sister Anna, Elsa becomes anxious and withdrawn as she grows older, before eventually learning to take control of, and become confident in, her powers which she masterfully uses to manipulate the snow. Female, Vocal range D5-F#3
King Agnarr: The warm-hearted ruler of Arendelle is committed to protecting both his family and the Townspeople from his eldest daughter's powers.
Queen Iduna: The queen possesses a sense of rightness and kindness that guides her in her protection of her two young girls.
Pabbie and Bulda: Pabbie and Bulda are the mystical leaders of the Hidden Folk who have a soft spot for "strays." Ever-benevolent, these parental figures want what's best for Kristoff, even if they are a bit misguided in their efforts.
Kristoff: Kristoff is a hardworking ice harvester. Kristoff has a sarcastic veneer and a rough-around-the-edges exterior that hides a big heart. Taken in by the Hidden Folk when he was young, he loves Pabbie and Bulda dearly, but is a bit of a loner with a reindeer for a best friend – until he meets Anna. Male, Vocal range: A3-G2
Sven: Gender: Any, Vocal range: A4-A3
Hans: The ambitious Prince of the Southern Isles and overlooked thirteenth son of a king. Hans constantly strives to find a way to make good and stand out. He boasts an exceedingly charming façade. Male, Vocal range: B3-G2
Weselton: A visiting duke who possesses a huge inferiority complex. A bombastic, overbearing sycophant, Weselton's sole purpose is to hobnob with influencers and royalty.
Olaf: The magical snowman created by Anna and Elsa when they were young. Olaf is endearingly delighted by everything – especially the idea of summer. Goofy and sweet. Vocal range: D4-F#2
Oaken: An exceedingly cheerful and convivial wandering salesperson and ardent devotee to all things cozy and comfortable. Oaken's "Hygge" is a showstopper.
