Auditions for R+H Cinderella (Broadway) at the Kitsap Forest Theater

About the project and the company

The Mountaineers Players invite you to create the enchantment of Rodgers + Hammerstein’s Cinderella (Broadway Version) at the magical Kitsap Forest Theater. This contemporary take on the classic tale features Rodgers + Hammerstein’s most beloved songs alongside an up-to-date, hilarious and romantic libretto by Tony Award nominee Douglas Carter Beane. Beane’s 2013 adaptation of this well-loved classic invites us to build a better, kinder world together. He has revised the plot so that Cinderella is not merely a kind maiden in distress, but a curious young woman becoming aware of injustices beyond her own shabby treatment. We seek actors of all ages for this show – kids will play the animals. All roles require singing & dancing. Stipends are available for some roles.

Show dates are July 27, 28, August 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18; 2:00 pm – 2024

Other details

The beautiful Kitsap Forest Theater is owned by The Mountaineers, a 501(c)3 outdoor education and conservation organization in Seattle. This year was our 100th Anniversary year! We strive to produce high quality shows with stellar acting, singing and dancing. We value strong character development and fast-paced shows. We typically have actors and production staff from both sides of Puget Sound. Performing out of doors in our beautiful and unique outdoor theater brings many joys (and challenges) that bonds the multi-age cast together and delights the appreciative audiences. It's a great venue for all ages - kids included!

We have some weekend rehearsals at the theater in Bremerton (Saturday or both days with an overnight stay possible). Many actors choose to spend the night at the theater on Saturday night and enjoy the camaraderie of "hanging out" together at Kitsap Cabin where volunteer cooks prepare Saturday night dinner and Sunday breakfast and lunch. We encourage carpools and sharing commuter ferry passes to help with transportation costs.

It is our policy to carefully schedule rehearsals so that you are not called unless you are needed. Main characters can be expected to come to most rehearsals.

We have a "Survival Guide" with more information about rehearsing and staying at the Kitsap Forest Theater and information about The Mountaineers Players on our audition page.

Audition requirements

Please prepare short song – about 32 ms (bring recorded music or use our accompanist) and a 1 – 2 minute memorized monologue or scene cutting. A resume with photo is desired. If you are auditioning for both shows, please bring two resumes/headshots. Please warm up before your audition.
