Poison Apple JTF 2026 Auditions

please note that these are highly competitive programs.
participation is never guaranteed.
all are encouraged to audition.

we are only casting 22 individuals in the teen troupe and 24 in the ensemble troupe.

Auditions: Saturday, July 12th 2025 10:00 am-3:00 pm

This year, we will be auditioning BOTH our JTFAtlanta and JTFWest troupes on the same day. We hope that this will assist with participant/family decisions for those who could potentially fit roles in both troupes due to the age overlap (13 and 14 year olds). We ask that participants carefully indicate their casting desires clearly and honestly on their audition form to help us best cast our productions. Note: We understand that not all school conflicts may be known at this time, but ask for your best guess in listing conflicts. EXAMPLE: “waiting on jazz band concert schedule.” Should conflicts arise with mandatory rehearsal days, or JTF specific rehearsals we will have to release actors from the show. Thank you for understanding this serious commitment.
