We are thrilled to announce that auditions are now open for the Broadway on the Bay Kids ensemble, a special group of talented young performers ages 8–15 who will join our cast in this year’s production of A Very Broadway Christmas.

Now in its third year, A Very Broadway Christmas has become a holiday tradition in the Tampa Bay area, bringing together Broadway performers straight from New York City, a live band, a choir, dancers, and local talent—all on the grand stage of the Mahaffey Theater.

Being part of Broadway on the Bay Kids is an unforgettable opportunity for students to:

Experience the thrill of performing in a professional production.

Share the stage with Broadway artists and learn from industry professionals.

Build confidence, teamwork, and stage presence.

Perform in front of thousands of audience members in one of Florida’s most prestigious theaters.

This is not just about performing—it’s about creating lifelong memories and sparking a love for the arts that will stay with them forever. Whether your students are seasoned performers or simply curious about the magic of theater, this is a chance to shine in a supportive, inspiring environment.
