16th anniversary of Young Talent Big Dreams Auditions

Actors’ Playhouse at the Miracle Theatre, together with our presenting sponsor The Children’s Trust, are thrilled to announce the milestone 16th anniversary season of Young Talent Big Dreams — Miami-Dade County’s largest and most beloved FREE youth talent competition.

Young performers are invited into the spotlight to showcase their extraordinary talents across a wide range of categories, including music, dance, voice, spoken word, and original composition, all on the professional stage of the historic Miracle Theatre.

Participation is completely free and open to Miami-Dade County residents ages 8–18 at the time of the finals, offering young artists a rare opportunity to perform in a real-world, professional theatrical setting.

Young Talent Big Dreams will feature a total of six individual categories, including pop/rock/rap vocals, musical theatre/jazz standards/classical vocals, dance, musical instrument, original spoken word, and original vocal and/or instrumental composition. Categories for groups of six or fewer members include dance, musical instrument/bands, and vocal groups. Participants may compete in one individual and one group category only, and those who preregister will be given priority audition times.

Each act will be allotted up to one minute during their preliminary audition performance and two minutes for the semifinal and final-round performances, with a maximum of nine winners and one Grand Prize winner crowned during the finals.

Contest registration is now open! For detailed information, including audition schedule, competition rules, and registration forms, please visit www.actorsplayhouse.org and take the first step toward your moment in the spotlight.
