HOW TO REGISTER
Send an email to artisticdirector@theatreterrific.ca with the subject line SUMMER MAINSTAGE AUDITION. Please include your first and last name, and let us know you'd like to join us!
We will email you an audition form one week before the audition. If you can, please print it and bring it along. If you don't have a printer or need any support filling it out, we will have plenty of printed copies and friendly hands on-site to help you at the audition. If you require this support please arrive at 1:30pm.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE AUDITION
Our audition is run as a collaborative group workshop rather than an individual presentation.
Together with other participants, you will explore a series of fun ensemble games and movement exercises. You will also be asked to share a brief, one-minute improvised story —the prompt for this will be given to everyone during the session. You do not need to prepare anything.
