Call for Actor Submissions
Canadian Stage General Auditions
Canadian Stage, one of Toronto’s leading charitable theatre organizations, produces a dynamic range of contemporary works, world premieres, and classics. Our general auditions help us connect with aspiring performers and expand our networks. We invite you to submit to our general audition call below.
Please submit by 5 p.m. on Monday March 10, 2025. Submission form is linked below. Early submissions strongly encouraged. General Auditions will take place April 1-5, 2025.
Canadian Stage is committed to building an anti-racist, equitable and inclusive cultural institution, and is committed to diverse, inclusive casting. We work to reflect the stories, ideas, concerns, and priorities of the communities we have been entrusted to serve authentically and meaningfully.
If you have any access needs for your audition, please contact Hannah Antaki at casting@canadianstage.com
Submission Notes:
We are particularly interested in seeing recent graduates of professional theatre training programs, as well as artists who identify as part of under-represented groups.
If you have been seen at one of our general auditions in the past 3 years, please do not submit.
We are only accepting submissions for in-person auditions; please do not submit if you are not available in person in Toronto between April 1-5, 2025. We will not be holding zoom or self-tape auditions at this time.
Performers selected for an audition will be asked to prepare:
- Two (2) contrasting monologues - one contemporary and one classical piece - under 3 minutes in length that show your range as a performer.
NOTE: when selecting monologues, focus on pieces with a clear objective within the world of the play. We are less interested in seeing ‘presentational’ pieces that lack a clear set of objectives, obstacles, and tactics.
TO APPLY: SUBMISSION FORM HERE
We thank everyone for their interest; however, only those selected for an audition will be contacted. Due to the volume of submissions, we are not able to respond to inquiries about the status of your submission package.
Deadline to apply: Monday March 10, 2025. No late submissions will be considered. No phone calls or hard copy submissions please.
