Spark Theatre Company announces non-equity auditions for our upcoming touring assembly season. Touring Assemblies generally perform selected weekdays throughout the touring period at schools and locations in NE Ohio. Although conflicts may be worked around when known in advance, actors should have general daytime availability within the touring period. Additionally, we are seeking a teaching artist available to lead music/dance themed classes in Akron, OH. Details for these positions are below. *TEACHING ARTIST POSITION*- Music & Dance Specialty Tuesdays 4-5pm in Akron, OH starting September 9th and culminating in December with a talent show performance. This is an intro to music and dance class with the emphasis on fun! Ages of students vary from 8-18.

In a world where every duckling is expected to quack, a quiet youngling, Zee, dares to be different. Why Won't Zee Quack? is a heartwarming tale about a non-verbal duckling who, despite being teased by his noisier siblings, ultimately becomes their unlikely hero. When danger strikes, it’s his unique way of seeing the world—and his silent courage—that saves the day. This charming play celebrates the power of individuality, the strength in differences, and the truth that every voice matters… even the ones we can’t hear. AVAILABLE ROLES: Zee- A young duckling who struggles to quack, and prefers to communicate in other ways. This character is based on the playwright's nonverbal Autistic son and preference will be given to actors who are Autistic, neurodivergent people, and actors with other disabilities. Open to all genders and ethnicities. **All other roles in this production are currently cast, however, submissions will always be considered for replacements!* The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe From the story by C.S. Lewis, dramatized by Le Clanche du Rand Rehearsals begin: January 19th around actor availability Touring Dates: February 9th-March 6th, 2026 with Saturday performances on February 21st and 28th. Step through the wardrobe like never before in this inventive two-person retelling of C.S. Lewis’s beloved classic. With a trunk of props and the power of imagination, two actors transform into lions, witches, fauns, and Pevensies, bringing the magical land of Narnia to life! This dynamic adaptation celebrates the wonder of storytelling, the strength of courage, and the enduring battle between good and evil—in an heroic tale that has enthralled audiences of all ages. AVAILABLE ROLES: Actor 1: Female identifying actor to play multiple roles. Actor 2: Male identifying actor to play multiple roles. Stuart Little by E.B. White, Adapted by Joseph Robinette Rehearsals begin: April 2026 around actor availability Touring Period: May 4th-29th, 2026 >From the heart of E.B. White’s classic tale comes a charming stage adventure full of courage, curiosity, and pint-sized determination! Stuart Little follows the journey of an extraordinary mouse born into an ordinary New York City family. With a big heart and an even bigger sense of adventure, Stuart navigates the challenges of being little in a great big world—from dodging cats to sailing toy boats and searching for his missing friend, Margalo. Bursting with imagination, humor, and heart, this live adaptation celebrates the power of resilience, the meaning of friendship, and the joy of discovering who you are, no matter your size. AVAILABLE ROLES: Stuart- Stuart is the adventurous protagonist! He is kind, flawed and brave. Stuart protects his friend Margalo, races a boat, drives a toy race car and is even a substitute teacher! Ensemble- 3-4 actors of any gender and type to play multiple roles throughout the story. WHO: Auditions are open to all actors who can work as local to Lorain County, OH. Spark Theatre Company does not provide actor housing. These positions are primarily held for actors 18 years of age and older, although actors under 18 with daytime availability for the touring period will be considered on a case by case basis. All actors cast should have reliable transportation and be able to pass an FBI background check. Spark Theatre embraces diversity and inclusion and utilizes a non-traditional casting policy. Non-traditional casting is a method designed to increase artistic options by expanding casting opportunities for women, actors of color, seniors, and actors with disabilities in roles where race, gender, age, or the presence or absence of a disability are not germane. To that end, we encourage all actors to audition, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, or physical ability. PAY: All touring show performers are paid a stipend based on role, experience, and length of time with the company plus $0.70/mile driven to and from all performance locations. Stipends begin at $500.00. HOW TO AUDITION: Please record a 1-2 minute monologue of your choosing, and upload it to this link: *https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSen0sfSwV2oVz8UMpyZJF-pXOhlnjwUBEz7xFrGLMgPvjqt2w/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=105311167233737397045* or email it to Sparktheatre4youth(a)gmail.com Casting is done on a rolling basis and auditions will be reviewed in the order they are received. Although there is no deadline to submit an audition, earlier submissions are encouraged as roles will be offered and filled as auditions are received. Questions?
