Dollywood Holding Auditions for 2017 Shows

With Dolly Parton at the helm, it should come as no surprise that Dollywood has earned the award for Best Theme Park Shows for eight consecutive years. Dollywood is looking to discover new talent ready to perform in the park’s world class shows with planned auditions throughout the southeast.

Auditions will take place in Birmingham, Alabama (Jan. 14); Spartanburg, South Carolina (Jan. 28); and at Dollywood (Feb 18-19). These auditions will give performers an opportunity to showcase their abilities to become members of Dollywood’s award-winning entertainment team. Audition locations and times are listed at the end of the article.

Dollywood Entertainment is looking for singers with experience in country, musical theater or pop who can move. In addition, an audition call for small, roving bluegrass groups takes place at the Feb. 19 Dollywood audition only.

“We have an impressive level of quality talent at Dollywood,” said Paige Bales, Dollywood entertainment director. “Each year we challenge ourselves to continue our high standard of entertainment, and it all begins with the people we are able to find at each of our auditions. We’ve helped a number of entertainers launch great careers and we’re excited to see who we’ll discover next.”

Many performers have launched their careers in Dollywood’s world-famous shows and productions. Janelle Arthur, an American Idol alum, started her career by playing a young Dolly Parton in Paradise Road at Dollywood. Eric Martsolf, Brady Black on NBC’s Days of Our Lives, also spent time on the stages of Dollywood.
