TCT is the oldest children’s theater in the country. All roles are paid positions.
Cincinnati Children’s Theater believes that the stories on their stages and the work they do behind the scenes must reflect the diverse communities they serve. They believe that inclusive work cultures trigger wide-ranging, exploratory conversation and learning. Therefore, they strongly welcome and encourage people of all origins, races, ethnicities, genders, gender identities, religions, abilities and age groups to apply if they continue to advocate diversity and create an inclusive environment at TCT.
Auditions can only be submitted online.
