AUDITION FORMS WILL BE ELECTRONIC THIS YEAR. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE PAGE!
Maumee Valley Civic Theater (MVCT) is pleased to announce auditions for its 2026 summer musical production of Disney’s Frozen the Broadway Musical. Please ensure you read this entire page, as it will help answer any questions you may have.
MVCT strives to be inclusive and family-oriented. Anyone age six and over is encouraged to audition. If you are under the age of 6, a parent or guardian must attend each rehearsal your child needs to attend. Please review the character list for details on all lead, feature, and ensemble members. You DO NOT have to live in Napoleon to participate in our shows.
Below you will find rehearsal times and days, audition details (Including Song, video audition options, dance, and script reads), participation fee details, fundraising requirements, build day details, and more.
We know schedules are hectic during the summertime, especially, and you may have conflicts with work, sports, vacations, etc. Please take the time to list all conflicts on the audition form. When one actor is missing from rehearsal, it affects the others in the show, the productivity of rehearsals, and ultimately, the final product.
Conflicts will be considered when making casting decisions; please be honest when filling out your audition form. We request that everyone who has been cast in the show not miss any rehearsals after July 4th unless prior approval and notification have been given to the production team. A detailed rehearsal schedule will be handed out at the first read and updated as needed. If you believe you will have to miss more than five rehearsals, we encourage you to rethink auditioning for this show now.
This year, we will again require a participation fee ($50), which will help us with set, lighting, sound, props, costumes, and show rights. Charging a participation fee also helps allow more people to be involved with the production.
More details on this participation fee can be found on our website https://mvctohio.org/why-participation-fee/
Again this year, all cast members will receive a ticket code to use $30 of that participation fee for presale seats for the show.
Even though we have a fee for participation, we do not want this to discourage ANYONE from participating. There are many ways to elevate this by acquiring either Program ads, patron donations, or corporate donations. Requesting assistance with the participation fee does not influence casting decisions.

Audition Details
This year’s show will again have many opportunities for all ages. Please note we are looking for actors, singers, and dancers for this show.
Due to the tight rehearsal schedule, all conflicts must be presented during your auditions. Conflicts presented after the first rehearsal may not be honored. Please note that excessive conflicts will affect casting decisions. PERFORMANCE CONFLICTS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.
So please ensure ALL conflicts during the rehearsal and show period are noted on the audition form. Communication will be done through phone, email, and the Band APP. Please make sure you list a valid email address and phone number on the audition form.
Each auditionee this year should be ready to sing 16-32 bars (no more than 2 minutes) of a song of your choice or one from the lead folder link below, and should be prepared if asked to read and sing additional items. (More details below)
**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 you read at auditions. Please pick a reading/song you feel most comfortable with and add whatever characteristics you like.
You do not need to memorize the monologue (side) or lyrics, but it helps the performer’s confidence. 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.
PARTICIPATION FEE
There is a participation fee for participating 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 to obtain 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 you need help with this, please see the Production Staff for guidance. Requesting assistance with the participation fee does not influence casting decisions. **
*All cast members will receive a ticket code to use $30 of that participation fee for presale seats for the show.
FUNDRAISING REQUIREMENT
This year, MVCT expects all cast to help support the production by selling in either Program ads, patron donations, corporate donations, shoutouts/break-a-leg messages, and/or participation in the announced fundraiser.
These forms and instructions will be provided at the first read and online through the Band app.

“TYPICAL” REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
Rehearsals will generally be 1 to 3 times a week during June on Sunday (1 PM-5 PM), Monday (6 – 8:30 p.m.), Tuesday (6 – 8:30 p.m.), or Thursday (6 – 8:30 p.m.), in Napoleon. In July, rehearsals will be more frequent as we get 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 to work on the music outside the rehearsal process.
Please also note that there are scheduled set build/paint days that we require everyone to participate (family members are encouraged to help)
SONG SELECTIONS
Prepare a 30-60 second memorized song that shows off your vocal range and your ability to act while singing. Be sure it is something you enjoy singing and make it fun! You will need to bring an accompaniment track (karaoke tracks to a lot of songs can be found on YouTube). You are able to sing a song from the show! An a cappella audition is permitted but not preferred. If you are auditioning for a lead character, please review the following songs that you should review before auditions. wink wink
The vocal score can be found by clicking the button above, and the ability to listen and practice.
SCRIPT SIDES
Each auditionee should be prepared if you are auditioning for one of the leads and if necessary, to cold read a portion of the script (side) that will be provided at the auditions.
Please note: More character sides may be added or requested at auditions.
