CHICAGO KIDS COMPANY, a professional children’s theater company now in its 32nd season, is holding general auditions for their upcoming 2024-2025 season.

Chicago Kids Company enriches the lives of the young Chicago of children with their classic fairy tale productions.  Their colorful shows introduce children ages 2 to 10 to the magic of live theater, and inspire children to laugh, create, and dream.  All CKC shows are presented in 3 theaters in Chicago and the suburbs.

Performances are presented in the following theaters:

The Beverly Arts Center

Wright College

Metropolis Performing Arts Center (Arlington Heights)

Some of the shows in our upcoming season include Jack and the Beanstalk, Alice in Wonderland, Mrs. Claus! A Holiday Musical, Sleeping Beauty, Chicken Little, Peter Pan, and more!

All positions are paid:  Cast members receive a rehearsal stipend of $150, and $30 per performance.

We are seeking adult men and women (over age 18) who can act, dance, and sing.  The directing team is committed to equity, diversity, and inclusion in casting.  All roles are open and available to actors of any gender, gender identity or presentation, age, race, ethnicity, ability/disability, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.

All CKC shows rehearse for two weeks, daytime and evening hours (depending on the show).  CKC shows are presented on Weekday mornings at 10:30am, and select Weekends at 11:00am.
