Teen Auditions for Performance Lab: URINETOWN at People’s Light
People’s Light will hold Teen Performance Lab auditions for our 2026-2027 Season production of
Urinetown, directed by Andrew Watring, on Saturday, September 19th.
This program is a hybrid experience, combining pre-professional training for a selective ensemble of teen theatre students which is limited to 8 participants, alongside rehearsal and performance in a professional production.
Master classes will begin the week of May 3rd, with two sessions per week (one weekday, one weekend) used to explore advanced musical theatre and acting ensemble topics. When rehearsals begin, teen actors will learn select roles in
Urinetown.
The teen actors will be integrated fully into the professional rehearsal process, with attendance expected 5-6 days/week through Tech rehearsals, Previews, and Opening. Each teen track will be double-cast, and will perform 3-4 times per week.
Students will have a core of professional teaching artists as their mentors, as well as the People’s Light artistic staff and guest artists working on our production of
Urinetown. Our goal is to develop young artists in many dimensions through exposure to professional training and individualized attention.
