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!

Two fantastic opportunities!
Fall Production Auditions - August 9th

There Is No Play (Ages 12+)
September 26th & 27th, 2025
UAA Harper Theatre

Eight drama students are rehearsing a play that speaks to the trauma they each face in their own lives—until their parents complain about its content and the administration bans the play. Forced to work on a trite and supposedly harmless replacement show to perform at the upcoming drama competition, the students go behind their teachers' back to learn the forbidden play as well, planning to surprise the audience with it. As they furtively rehearse, they learn more about themselves and the secrets they've been keeping from each other, but when the curtain rises and the pressure's on, will they risk it all or play it safe?

————————

Disney’s Dare to Dream JR. is a 60-minute musical revue that follows an eager group of trainees on their first day at a fictional Walt Disney Imagineering Studio. As the group sets out to help each other discover their dreams, they work together to explore the power of dreams to unite, inspire, and make anything possible. Drawing from a century of beloved Disney films, Dare to Dream JR. features songs appearing for the first time ever in a Disney stage musical, including fan-favorites from The Princess and the Frog, Coco, Encanto, and Frozen II. This musical revue is a thrilling mix of contemporary songs, timeless classics, and brand-new medleys that are sure to surprise and delight Disney lovers of all ages. Dare to Dream JR. turns a century of Disney magic into a theatrical celebration of music, creativity, and the dreams that live inside us all.
