Welcome to Second Star Youth Theatre
Second Star Youth Theatre is built on the philosophy that young people are capable of incredible things; they just need the chance to try! Powered by this belief, and our four pillars of Care, Courage, Creativity and Community, we offer engaging school holiday musical theatre workshops, in which young artists come together to rehearse and perform an entire musical in just one week.
​
To find out more about our pillars, who we are, and why we do what we do, check out About Us.
About the Show
A story of true love and acceptance between sisters, Disney's Frozen JR follows princesses Anna and Elsa as they discover their hidden potential and the powerful bond of sisterhood. With a cast of beloved characters and loaded with magic, adventure, and plenty of humour, this enchanting modern classic is sure to thaw even the coldest heart! ​
​​
Disney's Frozen JR is a truly exceptional example of a good youth musical which will both delight, and challenge, performers of all ages and experience levels. This 60-minute adaptation draws elements from both the 2013 film and the 2018 Broadway musical, and includes both large ensemble moments, and iconic lead opportunities. There is a place for every young performer in Arendelle, and we would love to have you join us.

Auditions
All young performers aged 10-18 (as at 11 July 2026) are invited to audition. All who audition will be cast in the show!
The in-person audition workshop will be held on the afternoon of Sunday 14 June. Any performers unable to attend in-person are welcome to submit video auditions.
​
What is an Audition Workshop?
At Second Star Youth Theatre, we want every performer to have equal opportunity to showcase what makes them amazing! To help achieve this, we run auditions as a workshop using the iTheatrics method. The iTheatrics method was developed specifically for youth performers and involves a large group of auditionees all attending a workshop together in which they will learn an ensemble song from the show. Auditionees then have the opportunity to perform what they’ve learnt for our creative team, and their fellow cast mates.​
While showcasing strong singers, skilled dancers and experienced actors, this method of audition also celebrates other invaluable skills such as connecting with others, responding to direction and learning material quickly. Another major bonus is that auditionees don’t have to prepare a thing! All they have to do is come along, be themselves, and give everything a go.
​
Register your Audition
Audition registrations are open now and spaces are filled on a first come, first served basis so we recommend getting in quick! You can register your audition at the button below.
There is no fee to register, but payment of participation fees will be due in full prior to audition day. After registering, participants will be emailed an invoice.
​
After Auditions
Casting decisions will be communicated to participants as soon as possible after auditions. It is then an expectation that performers in lead and featured roles spend time learning dialogue and lyrics in the weeks leading up to the intensive rehearsals. All necessary learning materials, i.e. scripts and rehearsal and accompaniment tracks, will be made available to them.
​​
I'm not available for Auditions
If your performer is unavailable for the in-person audition workshop, they can still be involved! Make a note of this on your registration form and we will be in touch with instructions for how to submit a video audition.
