Audition Details
Maumee Valley Civic Theater (MVCT) is excited to announce auditions for our 2026 summer musical production of Disney’s Frozen: The Broadway Musical! Please take the time to read this entire page carefully, as it will answer many of the questions you may have about auditions, rehearsals, and the overall production.
MVCT is proud to be an inclusive, family-oriented organization. Anyone age 6 and over is encouraged to audition. For participants under the age of 8, a parent or guardian must be present at all rehearsals your child attends (we will also have a signup for parents to share the responsibilty. We invite you to review the character list for details on lead, featured, and ensemble roles.
Please note—you do not have to live in Napoleon or the immediate area to participate in our productions.
Within this page, you will find important information including rehearsal schedules, audition requirements (song selection, video audition options, dance, and script readings), participation fee details, fundraising opportunities, build days, and more.
We understand that summer schedules can be busy with vacations, sports, work, and other commitments. It is extremely important that you list all conflicts on your audition form.
Rehearsals rely on the full participation of the cast, and absences can impact not only your role but the entire production. Conflicts will be taken into consideration during casting decisions, so please be honest and thorough.
We ask that all cast members make every effort to attend rehearsals consistently, especially after July 4th, when attendance becomes critical. Any absences during this time must be approved in advance by the production team. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be distributed at the first read-through/parents meeting and updated as needed.
A participation fee of $50 will be required for those cast in the production. This fee helps offset the costs of sets, lighting, sound, costumes, props, and performance rights.
We never want finances to be a barrier to participation. There are several ways to offset this fee through program ads, patron donations, or corporate sponsorships. Requesting assistance will not impact casting decisions in any way.
We are incredibly excited to bring Frozen to the stage and to be among the first community theaters in Ohio to produce this spectacular show. We look forward to creating something truly magical with you this summer!
Thank you for supporting the arts and Maumee Valley Civic Theater!

Signing from a karaoke track and or professional track (with words) is acceptable. Show tracks will be available at auditions as well. Actors depending on what they are interested in auditioning for may also be asked to sing one or more of the following songs:
AUDITION SONGS AND SCRIPT SIDES
All who audition will also get their headshot taken at auditions which will be used for casting announcements, social media, and programs. So please dress appropriately.
Please note: You will be considered for all parts regardless of the character that you read at auditions. Please pick a reading/song that you feel most comfortable with and add whatever characteristics you like.
You do not need to have the monologue or lyrics memorized but it always helps the confidence of the performer. We advise the performer to hold on to the audition paper even if they have memorized the audition material – just in case it is needed.
VIDEO AUDITION
If you are unable to make the general auditions (we strongly recommend an in-person audition), an accompanied video recording of your audition song, the song of the character you are wanting to audition for, and with a scale run for range, may be submitted before May 16, 2026, at 8:30 PM to info@mvctohio.org.
Please send via an unlisted YouTube link. If this is not possible, please email info@mvctohio.org with any questions or concerns.
“TYPICAL” REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
Rehearsals will generally be 1 to 3 times a week during June on Sunday (1 PM-5 PM), Monday (5:30 – 8 PM), Tuesday (5:30 – 8 PM), or Thursday (5:30 – 8 PM), in Napoleon. In July rehearsals will be more frequent closer to the show. These rehearsals will be divided into blocking, vocal, choreography, and run of the show. Extra private music rehearsals may be called for principal roles through the Music Director. Should you be cast, you will be contacted by the Vocal Director for your availability and scheduling. You may also contact the Vocal Director if you would like to schedule more time working on the music outside the rehearsal process.
Please also note there are scheduled set build/paint days that we require everyone to participate (family members are encouraged to help)
PARTICIPATION FEE
There is a participation fee to participate in this summer’s show. Since the Maumee Valley Civic Theater (MVCT) relies on donations, program ad sales, ticket sales, and your participation fee to ensure our shows are high quality. This fee helps with obtaining the rights for the show, costumes, set pieces, props, and advertising. Please note you may be asked to provide certain costume pieces for the show not limited to shoes, pants, shorts, etc.
| ALL | $50 |
**The participation fee SHOULD NOT deter anyone from auditioning and participating. There are several ways for Actors to accomplish this. If this is something you need help with, please see the Production Staff for guidance. Requesting assistance with the participation fee has no influence in cast decisions. **
SHOW SYNOPSIS
For the first time in forever, experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm! Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage.
In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.
