Horizon Theatre in partnership with Atlanta Children’s Theatre is auditioning for three non-Equity adult roles in our annual Family Series production of Madeline’s Christmas. It’s a fun 70-minute musical based on the popular children’s book series. Spring Mason of Atlanta Children’s Theatre is directing.

  • The show has roles for 12 young girls, and we double-cast those children’s roles. Each cast of 12 girls performs half the shows.
  • The show has 3 adult actors in the cast as well, and the adults perform every show
  • There are approx. 35 scheduled performances between December 7-31, 2025 – primarily daytimes.

AUDITIONS:  Monday August 25, Tuesday, August 26 or by video.  

TO AUDITION, PLEASE REQUEST AN APPOINTMENT BY FILLING OUT THE CASTING FORM.  https://airtable.com/appE8mUDcdNTxoICG/shr2mu0UsIYPk7SOs   

PREPARATION: Please prepare (or submit by video or both) one or two songs of your choosing sung to your own pre-recorded track, and the acting sides for the character(s) you are auditioning for. If you have not auditioned for Horizon before, please also prepare a contemporary comic monologue. You may play the track from your phone (we will have a blue tooth speaker), a CD, or any playback device you would like to bring with you.

Casting — General Information

  • Horizon accepts headshots, resumes and video links from actors who are located in Atlanta or who have Atlanta housing.
  • To submit your information for future casting, please fill out this AirTable Horizon General Audition Form and email casting@horizontheatre.com to alert us that you have submitted.
  • We appreciate link(s) to any video of your stage work that you can provide – scenes or monologues. We prefer 3/4 or full body shot video so that we can see you in a theatrical context rather than a film context.  You can also include a link to your reel, but any theatre video is better.  
  • We hold individual auditions for each show in our season which are publicized through AEA and Broadway World. The posting might refer to AEA actors specifically, but we always see both AEA and non-AEA actors for our mainstage shows. You are welcome to submit for any posting you see if there is a role or show that interests you.
  • If you would like to be considered for a particular show, you should fill out the general audition form above and send an email indicating your interest to casting@horizontheatre.com, and we will do our best to call you in for that show. But we have a small staff, so if you see a posting about auditions and you have not heard from us, submit your information as indicated on the posting. If we expect a  high volume of auditioners, the initial audition may be video only.
  • Please note that Horizon Theatre Company does not offer local housing and therefore rarely uses out-of-town actors.
  • Horizon is a professional theatre company that hires both Equity (SPT6 contract) and non-Equity actors for its mainstage shows.  Family Series/Children’s Theatre shows are non-Equity only.
