Theatre Tulsa is conducting a search across Green Country to find the best young actor to play the role of “Bruce” in its upcoming production of “Matilda The Musical.”
“We are seeking a small actor with a big voice,” said Jarrod Kopp, executive director of Theatre Tulsa.
Theatre Tulsa is seeking a male actor who fits the following requirements: between the ages of 8-12, no taller than 5'2, and with an unchanged voice.
“The role of Bruce is a lot of fun, but it requires a young actor with a high voice who can sing with a lot of heart and soul,” added Theatre Tulsa Artistic Director Sara Phoenix.
To audition, young actors are encouraged to record a video of themselves singing the opening and closing sections of “Revolting Children” from the soundtrack of “Matilda The Musical.” The video file or link should be sent to
info@theatretulsa.org for review. The Deadline for submissions is Friday, June 4.
Rehearsals for “Matilda The Musical” will begin June 14. Performances will be Aug 13-29 at The Tulsa Performing Arts Center.
Rehearsals will be held Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 6:30-9:30pm, and some Saturdays through the summer.
