upcoming Auditions
SIX: Teen Edition
Auditions October 21-23
Student Theatre Main Stage Musical
Calling all queens! Six: Teen Edition is Lucy Moss and Toby Marlow’s uplifting “history remix” of the lives of the six wives of Henry VIII, presented as a spectacular, celebratory, and sparkly pop concert. The “Teen Edition” is a version of the hit show specially designed for teenage performers to share its timely themes of female empowerment, sisterhood, and reclaiming one’s history. Some lines, lyrics, and dramatic beats have been changed to be more appropriate and inclusive for a young adult cast and a teen-and-up audience. Scripts are available to borrow and read in advance through the Box Office.
Auditions are open to women, non-binary, and trans women performers between the ages of 14 and 19 of any ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, ability, body type, etc. Six: Teen Edition is a non-traditional musical with a modern pop score and is a great opportunity for talented singers and dancers with a strong pop/hip-hop/R&B background but limited musical theatre experience. The Teen Edition includes an option to cast a small ensemble. The addition of ensemble roles will be decided at the time of casting and is not guaranteed.
PLEASE NOTE: Six: Teen Edition rehearsals will begin after the QHS Musical closes.
By: Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss
SIX: Teen Edition is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals. www.concordtheatricals.com
SIX: Teen Edition is a full-length adaptation of Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’ international phenomenon SIX, modified for performance by teen actors for teen audiences and older.

If you intend to audition, please take note of the following:
By auditioning, you agree to the following:
Being a part of a QCT production is a HUGE commitment, but the reward is worth it! We will work together to create a joyful and high-quality production, and the final product is the result of everyone’s talents and strengths. You will be expected to work as needed outside of rehearsals on your lines and blocking; you will attend and arrive on time for all your scheduled rehearsals and be ready to begin by the scheduled start time; you will leave anything negative at the Stage Door and bring in your best, most supportive, most inclusive and positive self to our process. We will all be willing to step outside of our comfort zones in rehearsals and try different things and treat every person involved in the production with care and respect – no matter the age or role. You can trust that your fellow company members will do the same for you.
Please, only audition if you are ready to commit to the above.
