A LETTER FOR THE CREATIVE TEAM:We would like to thank each and every one of you who came out to audition for the cast of The Lion King Jr. We know that it can be very difficult to step onstage, perform, and be judged, but you all did very well. The remarkable amount of talent we saw made this a very difficult decision for the creative team. Unfortunately, we had a very large turnout for a limited number of roles. If you were not cast in this production, please don’t be discouraged. We were looking for specific things in these auditions. We encourage you to keep learning, practicing, and performing whenever and wherever possible, and we hope to see you at a future audition with us. Thank you again for coming out to audition. If you were cast in this production, we look forward to working with you. Whether you were selected to be a named role or a member of an ensemble, every cast member is vital to putting on an excellent production - particularly in The Lion King Jr. We can't wait to get started! There is a mandatory parent/cast meeting on Monday, January 5, 2026 at 6 PM at the City of Greer Center for the Arts (804 Trade Street) followed by a cast read through. Production manager Teresa Poinsette will be emailing you forms for the meeting. Thank you, The Lion King Jr. Creative Team LION KING JR. CAST LIST:Characters:

To everyone who auditioned, thank you so much! The production team had very hard decisions to make after auditions and callbacks. Unfortunately, we are unable to cast everyone who auditions. If you were not selected this time, please do not be discouraged. It only means that we did not have a place for your specific skill set in our version of this show. The perfect show for you might be just around the corner - perhaps in a future GCT production.

To all who auditioned, thank you all so much! The production team deliberated long and hard after auditions and callbacks. We were absolutely thrilled to have each and every one of you, and we thank you so much for your time.
Unfortunately, we simply do not have enough room in our cast or on our stage for all of you. This does not directly reflect on your skill or talent, it only means that there is not a place for your specific skillset in our version of this show. Please do not be discouraged, as the show that can highlight you and your unique talents may be just around the corner.
