Applause Players Presents:
“On The Road Again”
Our next annual musical is an adaptation of The Wizard Of Oz.
Join the familiar characters on a slightly different journey as Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion battle past the Wicked Witch of the West and other obstacles on their way to seek the great Wizard’s assistance in The Emerald City. Enjoy the toe tapping songs, upbeat choreography, twists and laughs at our various performances throughout the year.
Applause Players holds auditions in the early fall and anyone ages 8 through adult (yes, you read that correctly, we have adults in our show too!), is welcome to try out.
We perform with the studio at the following venues:
- The Everett Mall for our annual Showathon in January,
- The Everett Imagine Children’s Museum early spring,
- * Driftwood’s Wade James Theatre in Edmonds April 27th through 29th,
- The Studio’s recital first weekend of June, and
- The Mill Creek Festival mid-July.
* This is our full length production including a week of tech and dress rehearsal on the stage, culminating in three, two-hour shows over the weekend.
Please be prepared to perform in ALL of the productions and attend classes regularly. There are some guest artists roles available for older students and adults. Guest Artists do not attend rehearsals as often, have smaller roles and do not pay tuition but have required fundraising.
Let’s have some fun!

Applause Players is a Youth Musical Theatre Troupe affiliated with Applause Studio in Mill Creek and is sponsored by the Applause Studio Youth Parent Organization (YPO), a Washington State non-profit group. We focus on a fun and professional environment where the students learn how a real theatre company operates. They are encouraged to be expressive and creative while staying open-minded and non-judgmental towards their peers. We strive to create a comfortable classroom where a child can build self esteem through their own ideas and efforts. Each student learns true responsibility as everyone has many duties and the cast must depend on and trust each other in order for the production to happen. They practice setting aside differences to work as a team and focus on the art in themselves not themselves in the art.
