Upcoming Auditions
Eden Prairie Players is holding Auditions for our Children's Theater Workshop!
The Bestest Bedtime Stories (As Told by Our Grandpa) (He’s Silly)
Written by Ed Monk
Directed by Gina Light
Grandpa’s a little out of practice when it comes to babysitting, but if he’s ever going to get his bouncy grandkids to go to sleep, he’s got to remember some bedtime stories fast. Or at least something pretty close to them. Meet the Witch who lives in a house made of broccoli, the magical fairies Lipitor and Miralaz and Jack who climbs a beanstalk – and needs a little help from the stage crew to get down. You may think you know your fairy tales, but not the way Grandpa tells them.
Where and When : Auditions will be held Saturday March 15, 2025 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Round Lake Community Room, 16691 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie. (Map)
Audition Info:
Great roles for boys and girls ages 9-15. Actors should dress for comfort & movement. We ask that those who wear skirts also wear shorts or other pants under them. Please wear shoes, not flip-flops or crocs.
During the audition parent(s)/guardian(s) are asked to read the General Information Sheet and the Tentative Calendar. Feel free to ask any questions.
Before the Audition
A parent or guardian should fill out our online audition form. Having this done in advance saves a lot of time at the auditions. Before filling it out, please find a photo of your child who is auditioning that you can upload. It should be a JPEG file. Ideally, it should be a portrait-oriented picture of just the child, facing the camera. If you do not have this as a file on your computer, please bring a photo to the audition. Also, when filling out the form, please have your family calendar available as you will be asked to mark the dates of rehearsals that your child will be unable to attend.
Please fill out the audition form before the day of the audition.

Eden Prairie Players is holding Auditions for our 2025 Women’s One Acts+!

Where and When : Auditions will be held Sunday, March 16, 2025 from 12:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Eden Prairie Senior Center, 8950 Eden Prairie Road, Eden Prairie. (Map)
Community Room on the lower level. Park and enter through the rear entrance.
Audition Info: Auditioners may choose to read a side from one of the plays or prepare a monologue of up to two minutes. We will provide sides from each play. You may choose one side and role to read for your audition. You will still be considered for all of the plays. Actors will be paired together to help read the other roles in a scene. You can ask to read with someone you know if they are there at the same time
Production Schedule: Rehearsals will be scheduled individually for each play, around the availability of the actors and directors, from the end of March to tech week. Typical one acts rehearse about twice a week, and we are flexible enough to work around spring break vacations.
Tech and Dress Rehearsals: Monday, May 5 through Thursday, May 8 at 6:30 pm
Performances:
Friday and Saturday, May 9-10 at 7:30 pm
Thursday through Saturday, May 15-17 at 7:30 pm
