Synopsis
Based on the beloved Disney animated film, and featuring a jazzy, upbeat score, Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS is a non-stop thrill ride of feline fun, complete with unbelievable twists and turns. In the heart of Paris, a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to Duchess, her high-society cat, and her three little kittens. Laughs and adventure ensue as the greedy, bumbling butler , Edgar, pulls off the ultimate catnap caper. Now it's up to the rough-and-tumble alley cat, Thomas O'Malley, and his band of swingin' jazz cats to save the day. With a cast full of colorful animal and human characters and plenty of exuberant group numbers, this show has something for everyone!
Character Descriptions
Thomas O'Malley: The charming and charismatic lead alley cat, Thomas O'Malley lives as a free spirit with no attachments but secretly desires to be part of a family.

Vocal range:C4 - Db5
Edgar: The villainous butler of Madame, Edgar is not only allergic to the pampered Aristocats but he also secretly hates tending to them. Equal parts bad-guy and comic relief, this role calls for bold singing and acting skills. Physical acting skills are a plus.
Vocal range:A3- Eb5

Marie: The spirited and sassy daugher of Duchess, Marie is the youngest child and a charmer just like her mother. While she does enjoy occasionally reigning over her brothers, Marie adores her family and newfound friends. This role calls for equal parts acting and singing by one of our younger performers.
Vocal range:B4 - F#4
Berlioz: Duchess's son. While not the youngest, Berlioz is a bit of a mama's-kitten and often is treated as the baby of the family. A cautious and loveable kitten, this role calls for equal parts acting and singing by one of our younger performers.
Vocal range: D4 - C5
Roquefort: The naïve, yet ultimately brave, house mouse who lives in Madame's home. Roquefort often comes across as innocent and frightened, but overcomes his fears and saves the Aristokittens from Edgar. Strong acting and singing skills are required.

Vichy & Soisse: Two privates in the dog army who report to General Napoleon. Vichy & Soisse must be able to follow orders in a most comedic fashion.
Vocal range top:C4 - C#5
Amelia & Abigail: The two bold geese sisters who rescue O'Malley from the river and lead the way out of the country back to Paris. They may sound like heroes but this duo definitely moves like geese! Solid acting and singing skills are required for these fun and quirky roles.
Vocal range: C#4 - C#5
The Alley Cats
Scat Cat: The jazzy leader of the Alley Cat narrators. Scat Cat is ultra-hip and enjoys introducing the Aristocats to jazz music. Strong singing skills, bold acting choices, and smooth moves are required for this role.

We here at KPA strive to nurture mutual respect in every performer who passes through our doors and to instill a strong sense of work ethic while encouraging passion and building community. A big part of this character building is consistency in our rehearsals, activities, and performances. Attendance is a very important aspect of this program as the performers rely on each other throughout the process, building their knowledge and skills together. We understand that sickness may occur, but it is understood that barring unforeseen circumstance all performers will attend every required rehearsal, and if a missed rehearsal is unavoidable the performer/performer's family will do all they can to independently catch up on any missed materials.
AUDITION DETAILS
In order to be part of the Kettleworks Traveling Players, it is necessary for every interested performer to attend auditions. Please note that while it is our intent to accept any performer who is committed to being a part of the team, acceptance into the program will also be dependent upon the teamwork and collaboration that is demonstrated in the auditions. Our travel team will require focus and a strong sense of professionalism when we are "on the road" so it is important that each travel team member be able to work well with others, behave respectfully towards new instructors and fresh audience members, as well as maintaining focus onstage.

Synopsis
Based on the 1992 Academy Award®-winning film and the 2014 hit Broadway show, Disney's Aladdin JR. is about the “diamond in the rough” street rat who learns that his true worth lies deep within.
Aladdin and his three friends - Babkak, Omar, and Kassim - are down on their luck until Aladdin discovers a magic lamp and the Genie who has the power to grant three wishes. Wanting to earn the respect of the princess, Jasmine, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that will test his will and his moral character. With expanded characters, new songs, and more thrills, this new adaptation of the beloved story will open up “a whole new world” for performers and audience members alike!
Note: We highly encourage everyone auditioning to research the original animated film as well as the acclaimed Broadway version of Disney's Aladdin. While the recently released live-action version of this story is incredible, there are many differences between that version and Disney's Aladdin JR.

How does a virtual musical work?
We have received many questions about how it is possible to create amazing theatre on a virtual platform.
Through professional training sessions and many months of experience working through virtual productions, we have learned to incorporate effective techniques for teaching, rehearsing, and performing online. We will hold a parent meeting at the start of training to help our company families learn first-hand what is involved.
We encourage you to take a look below to see what magic can happen! This unique year has opened up all kinds of new opportunities for performers and we can't wait to share them with you!
