  • PaperMap Theater & Co. is holding auditions for The Outsiders, our August 2026 production.

    This show is classic, dramatic, and full of bold characters. At PaperMap, we keep our casts smaller on purpose, which means more stage time, more direction, and more chances to really grow. No disappearing into the wallpaper here.

    If your performer wants a summer show where they will be known, challenged, and given something real to do, this is a very good one.

  • Two Ways to Audition

    In person — Saturday, June 20 | 12:30 PM-2:00PM at our Thornton Park studio.

    By video — due Sunday, June 21 at midnight | Record at home on your own schedule.

    Both paths are weighted equally. Choose whichever feels right for your performer.

  • Summer schedules are busy, and we get it. Vacations, other camps, family visits, the occasional week away — all normal, all expected. We build our rehearsal process to work around real-life summer conflicts, not against them.

    When you submit your audition, just let us know any dates you already know you'll miss. We'll plan around them. A few missed rehearsals won't keep your performer out of the cast.

  • Show us your voice, your personality, and your willingness to go for it!
    Auditions begin with a video submission.

    What to Submit (Complete the form on the bottom of this page) Here’s what should go on your video:

    1. A short slate introduction with name, age, and why you want to do the show.

    2. Your audition (30-60 seconds)
      A monologue from a show is ideal, and a selection from The Outsiders is strongly encouraged, but not required.

    Notes:

    1. Some performers will be invited to in-person callbacks on Monday, June 22nd, but not everyone will require a callback to be cast!

    2. What We’re Looking For:

      Personality, focus, potential, openness to direction, and strong ensemble instincts!

  • Option A: Enroll first. Secure your place in the cast, then audition to determine your role.

    • Step 1: Enroll now (click here!)

    • Step 2: Audition

    • Step 3: Receive your role

    Option B: Audition first. Audition without enrolling, receive your role offer, then enroll. (This is a great option for families who want to audition first and decide once they are offered a role.)

    • Step 1: Audition first (click here!)

    • Step 2: Receive your role offer

    • Step 3: Enroll / pay tuition

    A quick note: every performer must audition. Enrollment secures a place in the cast. The audition helps determine the best role and track for each performer.

  • This is what the enrollment fee is getting you:

    • This is four weeks of rehearsal, instruction, character work, staging, movement, and four performances in our unique Downtown Orlando studio..

    • Because the cast stays smaller, performers get more attention, more feedback, and more performance time.
