Birmingham Children’s Theatre Spring 2026-2027 Video Submission Auditions
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama (LOCAL HIRE ONLY) All positions are Paid.
Birmingham Children’s Theatre is auditioning performers aged 18+ for our Spring 2026 - 2027 Season. Contracts will be offered for individual shows.
Most roles in BCT’s season are available for performers of all genders, ethnicities, and abilities. BCT celebrates diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive environment for artists that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. Actors from all communities are strongly encouraged to submit.
Rehearsals and performances take place Tuesdays – Saturdays between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm, typically in 4 to 5 hour sessions. Daytime availability is a must. The production time commitment is 8 to 16 weeks, depending on the show.
Video Submissions will be accepted in lieu of in-person auditions. Please prepare a 60-90 second audition package consisting of a monologue and a song. We are looking for performers with a keen sense of play; and the ability to interact and improvise with audience members. While your audition piece does not have to be from a TYA show specifically, monologues should be comedic and show the energy, boldness, and bigness required for effective Theatre for Young Audiences performance.
In-Person Callbacks will be held on a later date by invitation only.
