IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT AUDITION-ONLY CLASSES

  • You are registering your student for an AUDITION SLOT FOR AN AUDITION CLASS. Auditions will be in-person on the dates indicated or by video as indicated. If you unable to attend the in-person audition, contact us. This is no guarantee that your student will qualify for an Audition class.

  • You will be contacted after the audition regarding the placement status of your student.

  • If your child is cast, you will be directed when to proceed to registration to complete your child's registration.

  • DO NOT register for an audition slot if you are registering your student for an Open Enrollment Class or an Invitation Only Class. A pre-audition is not necessary for those classes.

  • DO NOT register for an audition slot as a back-up to another class; if you register for an audition slot, we expect that your student will be available to take that class if accepted.

    CLASSES & PERFORMANCES: Please review the class dates - we are very specific about what days we have classes and when we don’t and make sure your student is available for all classes. Wildfish Theatre has a NO ABSENCE policy. Please review performance dates and times under your desired class. Each class may have 2-4 shows and your student MUST available to participate in all potential shows. The dress rehearsal is usually the last day of class (except for the High School Audition Class) and attendance at dress rehearsal and attendance at dress rehearsal and shows is mandatory.

Happiness is great musical theatre! With charm, wit and heart, You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown explores life through the eyes of Charlie Brown and his friends in the Peanuts gang. This revue of songs and vignettes, based on the beloved Charles Schulz comic strip, the show follows the everyday life of the ever-hopeful but often discouraged Charlie Brown as he navigates school, baseball, and friendships.

Alongside him are familiar faces: bossy Lucy, piano-playing Schroeder, blanket-toting Linus, dramatic Sally, and the imaginative beagle Snoopy. Rather than a traditional plot, the musical is a series of vignettes—short, whimsical scenes that highlight the quirks and heartfelt moments of each character.

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

An eclectic group of mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Only one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.

Next to Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 Tony Awards, including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next to Normal was also chosen as "one of the year's ten best shows" by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

Dad's an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal because the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years. Next to Normal takes audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting their family's story with love, sympathy and heart.

This deeply moving piece of theatre provides a wonderful opportunity for performers to explore dramatic material and showcase vocal talents with an energetic pop/rock score. Next to Normal is an emotional powerhouse that addresses such issues as grieving a loss, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life.
