AUDITIONS
ATY does not pre-cast roles, play favorites or discriminate. We believe everyone should be treated equally regardless of race, sex, gender identification, sexual orientation, national origin, native language, religion, age, disability, body type or any other characteristic. We strongly believe that our differences, as well as our unique experiences and stories make us stronger and we invite all who are interested to audition!
Madagascar, Jr.
Directed & Choreographed by Austyn Hope Davis
Video Auditions Accepted Now - March 11th
Show runs February May 1st-10th
Open to Actors Ages 5-18 yrs old
Alex the lion is the king of the urban jungle, the main attraction at New York's Central Park Zoo. He and his best friends — Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo — have spent their whole lives in blissful captivity before an admiring public and with regular meals provided for them. Not content to leave well enough alone, Marty lets his curiosity get the better of him and makes his escape — with the help of some prodigious penguins — to explore the world.
Filled with outlandish characters, adventure galore and an upbeat score, Madagascar JR. will leave audiences with no choice but to “Move It, Move It!”
*This run includes 2-3 school show performances, where actors will need to miss a half-day of school!*
Tentative Rehearsal Calendar
Please note that actors will NOT be called to all rehearsals, until we move into the space on April 19th. The creative team’s goal is to limit rehearsal commitment to 3-4 days a week until that point.
