Teen Companies


2025-2026 Company Programs

COMPANIES OUTLINE: 

Companies is an exciting theatre troupe at LCT designed for young artists looking to give themselves a firm foundation in theatre. The ensemble learns about the various styles, practices, and skills needed to succeed as a professional theatre artisan whether onstage or behind the scenes.

Companies was created for students who are serious about theatre. It requires a significant time commitment. Our weekly meetings focus on the elements and skills involved with the theatrical arts and adjacent performance art forms. Companies’ curriculum is set up in units of study determined by LCT’s professional Teaching Artists with regard to the interests and needs of the ensemble members.

This year’s Companies students will embark upon an special, original performance project which will shape our fall and spring units.

Each Company will meet on Tuesdays from 6:30-9:00pm for the 2025-26 school year. The tuition for this year’s Companies program will be $400.

Our Companies program has two troupes:

  • Jr. Company is for students in grades 6 – 8.
  • Company B is for students in grades 9 – 12.

TO AUDITION:

Auditions for the 2025-26 ensemble will be held at Lexington Children’s Theatre August 21-23, 2025.

STEP ONE: Prepare your audition monologue or song:

  • Auditionees for Jr. Company should prepare one 1-minute monologue or 3-4 minute song from musical theatre.
  • Auditionees for Company B should prepare one 2-minute monologue or 3-4 minute song from musical theatre.

*Please note that anyone auditioning with a song must provide their own accompaniment track and email the file (preferably MP3 or WAV format) to education@lctonstage.org no less than 24 hours before their audition.*

STEP TWO: Fill out this online Companies Audition Form and select a time for your audition: https://form.jotform.com/LCT_SM/company-audition-form

STEP THREE: Come to your audition! We encourage all auditionees to arrive 5-10 minutes prior to the start of their audition block. Auditions should take no more than 1 hour.

Below are some tips for a great audition:

  • Prepare to do a slate by saying your full name and age before reciting your monologue or singing your song
  • Monologues and songs should be chosen from plays or musicals 
  • Please try to steer clear of monologues and songs from movies and tv shows. If you need help finding resources, please contact LCT’s Education Department at education@lctonstage.org 
  • Don’t be afraid to use the space 
  • Speak clearly and project your voice  
  • Wear comfortable clothing to move around in 
  • Don’t be afraid to make bold choices  
  • Be willing to try new things 
  • We encourage auditionees to try their best to memorize their monologue or song, however, remember that a strong acting performance is more important than being word perfect 
  • Have fun! 

Next Step: Sit back and wait a few days. We will announce our 2025-2026 ensemble via email by 6:00pm on Wednesday, August 27, 2025.

  • There will be an optional ensemble-building lock-in event on Friday, September 5, 2025.
