Video auditions due by August 2 for Emerald City Player's 2026/2027 Troupe!

Now accepting video auditions for Emerald City Player's 2026/27 Troupe! Audition submissions due Aug 2nd by 5pm!

Emerald City Players will be casting approximately 12-18 actors for the 2026/27 Troupe. If cast, our 2026/27 "Players" will be guaranteed at least 2 shows, but may possibly be cast in more! Our mission is to uplift a group of dedicated performers and provide a space for actors to grow with the season. We look forward to casting our actors in a variety of roles, including behind the scenes to support the production(s).

*Additional auditions may be held throughout the season to fill roles, as needed but troupe auditioners will have greater precedence. In other words, the 2026/27 Players will make up the primary cast for the season...so get your audition submitted today!*

Please prepare 2 contrasting songs with a 32-bar cut each from a song in one of the '2026/27 Season' shows or a song in the same style of the show(s) you are auditioning for. Your cut should showcase your story telling, since most of the productions are sung-through with very little dialogue. All video auditions are due by August 2nd, 2026 at 5:00 PM.

*Please fill out the form below and submit your video audition link below, preferably as a YouTube link or Google Drive link. Also, attach your headshot and resume to the end of the form.

Enrollment now open for EMMET OTTER'S JUGBAND CHRISTMAS at Stage of Mind Performing Arts

A Stage of Mind Holiday Tradition Begins

Join us as we bring the beloved classic Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas to life on stage. This heartwarming story follows Emmet and Ma Otter as they each set out to give the other the perfect Christmas, only to discover that the things that matter most can't be bought.

Filled with music, laughter, friendship, and holiday spirit, this all-ages production welcomes performers of all experience levels and will feature singing, acting, puppetry, and plenty of opportunities to be part of something truly special.

For generations, this story has reminded audiences that family, friendship, and community are life's greatest gifts. We are honored to be among the first organizations granted licensing rights to produce this newly released adaptation and proud to introduce Arizona audiences to what we hope will become a cherished annual tradition.

After all, all we needed was each otter.

Directed by Sarah Burke

Join Stage of Mind Performing Arts this fall for Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas: The Musical! Based on the beloved Jim Henson holiday special, this all-ages production will bring the story to life through music, storytelling, and a heavy focus on puppetry. Students will have the chance to explore both acting and puppeteering as they work together to create a truly one-of-a-kind theatrical experience full of heart, creativity, and holiday spirit.

All ages community theater...everyone who enrolls will be able to be a part of the show. Rehearsals are at Crossroads Nazarene Church @ 2950 W Ray Road, Chandler AZ 85224 and the performances are at Desert Cross Lutheran Church (8600 S McClintock Drive, Tempe AZ 852840
