While all PPC members at any level are always welcome and encouraged to audition for appropriate available roles in all Palace productions, beginning in 2026, there will be a new, direct path to the Springer Stage for our PPC Seniors.

Starting in the 2026 season, the Palace Theatre has committed to producing a musical every summer on the Springer Stage with multiple roles available for teens.

Any PPC Senior who has been a Senior Member of the Palace Performance Company for a minimum of two consecutive years can be eligible for a guaranteed ensemble role in this show.

In order to be eligible, the PPC member must be:

• in good standing with the Company,
• have taken the recommended coursework with good attendance,
• have no more than three (3) rehearsal conflicts, and
• have no performance conflicts.

PPC Seniors who are eligible can audition for a different role (or roles) if they wish, however, they are only guaranteed a spot in the ensemble.

PPC Seniors who are not eligible are also welcome to audition, however, there is not a guaranteed spot in the ensemble.

Auditions will likely be late April/early May; rehearsals likely would begin late May/early June; show opensmid/late July; show closes late August/early September.

All Company members may be invited to participate in specialty events through-out the year. These events are all lead by industry professionals. Past workshops have included a voice master class with Broadway actor Ray McCleod, an audition workshop with Jill Leiberknight, MFA, a creativity workshop with Jess Pillmore, MFA, a talent agent meet and greet with agents from Collier Talent, a mock audition with casting director Donise Hardy, a class with two members of National Tour of Waitress, as well as several additional dance and vocal master classes. 

Through their classes, students will gain the skills and materials necessary for upcoming BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) auditions. The PPC is designed to be a multiple-year program, and by the time students reach the 11th grade they will be armed with vocal rep and monologues as well as crucial warm-up, interview, and audition skills. Instructors who work with our PPC Seniors in particular can assist and advise students through the BFA audition preparation process.
