How old do you have to be to try out for theater? ?

Question

I am 11 right now and it's my dream to be in the preforming arts. I am taking choir and everything to make my voice better. does anyone know how old you have to be???

Answer 1

For most local theaters there's no legal age restrictions.

It should say on the audition notice what ages they have in mind.

For a musical it might look something like:

one girl to perform the part of Ellie, age 10-14

one boy to perform the part of John, age 6-8

Five women to play various teachers between the ages of 20 and 55

Answer 2

i dont believe there is a certain age limit. I guess as long as you can perform then it doesn't matter

Answer 3

Look for a children's theatre in your area. You are old enough right now to join a theatre group.

Answer 4

Any age!! There's no age limit to theater!! You could be like, a month old to 100.

Answer 5

My son was in his first play when I was pregnant. Well, then his second play was when he was 10 months old. Find a theater and see what shows they are doing and go and audition.

Answer 6
