You’ll be asked for the $35 deposit at the first company meeting. If this is a barrier to your participation, please let us know so we can work with you. KLT does not want finances to be a barrier to anyone’s ability to participate.

A special note from the Director:
We greatly look forward to you sharing your wonderful talent at auditions for Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. Disney’s Beauty and the Beast is truly a tale as old as time that has provided a wonderful story that so many have connected with ever since childhood. At auditions, come excited to show us how you genuinely connect with the character you are portraying in your vocal audition and the fun you can have while dancing. We are looking for those who can authentically bring a story to life and help us see not only the joys but the hardships that life offers in ways we might never expect.
We are excited to see YOU and what YOU have to share! Thank you for taking the time to audition, we look forward to working together to Inspire our community with Magic and Creativity through sharing the remarkable journey of the characters in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast!`
