Spanish Fork Community Theater

Join Spanish Fork Community Theater this summer for our first production at the new Spanish Fork High School! Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical is a Tony Award-winning fairy tale adventure, featuring all new songs from Jeanine Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie; Caroline, or Change) and a sidesplitting book by David Lindsay-Abaire. Shrek brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

"Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand... and his name is Shrek.

Shrek presents a treasure trove of creative opportunities, including costumes, sets, puppets (there is a fire-breathing dragon after all) and more! Irreverently fun for the whole family, Shrek proves that beauty is truly in the eye of the ogre.

Auditions

Auditions will be held April 24, 25, 6-9 pm;  26, 9 am-Noon. They will be held in the choir room at Diamond Fork Middle School, 50 N 900 E in Spanish Fork.

Callbacks by invitation only on May 3. If there are conflicts on the 3rd, please reach out via sfct@spanishfork.gov and we will make an accommodation.

Come prepared with 24 to 32 bars or 30 to 45 seconds of an upbeat, modern musical theater song. Please provide a backing track to sing with (audio equipment will be provided). Please download your song to your device before the auditions. Don't count on being able to access the internet at auditions, service is unreliable. You will also be asked to learn a short dance and read a few lines.

If you are cast in the show, please plan on attending the opening cast meeting on May 7 at 6 pm in the Diamond Fork Middle School cafeteria.

We encourage performers of all backgrounds (races, ethnicities, genders, abilities, and identities) to audition. Our goal is to create a space where diverse perspectives are valued and every performer feels empowered to share their talents.

Age range: We have limited roles for children ages 8-13. Children ages 8-13 must have a parent at every rehearsal. This is a great opportunity for families to audition together (or plan to attend each rehearsal with your child).  

We will have a large teen/adult ensemble. Ages 14+ may audition/attend rehearsals without a parent. 

Rehearsal start date/schedule: In early May, rehearsals will generally be Tuesday-Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings with additional days as we get closer to show dates. Additional rehearsals may be involved depending on the role.

When signing up for an audition time please fill out this Audition Form.

Please review the available audition time slots on this Sign Up Genius. Appointments are prioritized, but walk-ins are welcome. Time slots may be added if everything fills up. Please reach out if there isn't a time available on the sign-up genius that works for you. We can't wait to see you! Thank you!
