Need young actors

GENERAL AUDITIONS

Kompany Family Theatre hires professional, non-equity actors and movers. We are looking to cast performers specifically for a few upcoming projects but would love to see anyone who has a passion and interest in theatre and dance for young audiences even if neither of the below projects work with their schedule.

Specific upcoming projects:

Spring New Work Workshop: We are looking for 3 dancers who act and/or actors who can move for a workshop of a new children's dance/theatre show. The contract will be for approximately 40 hours within a 2-week period including development and some workshop/performances in schools. A full production will likely be part of our 2024/2025 season.

Summer Tour: We are looking for performers to be part of our summer tour! This can be full time performing work during the summer, but the schedule is flexible and can vary week to week. Rehearsals: one weekend day in early June, and then beginning at the end of June (likely June 27th). Show runs through the summer until Labour Day.

Qualifications:

Post Secondary Degree or Diploma in Theatre or equivalent experience
Desire to perform interactive, touring theatre/dance for young audiences and families
Love of working with kids of all ages (we perform for young audiences but we also mentor teen performers)
Valid Driver's license

This audition will run in two parts - dance/movement call and small group workshop style auditions. You can apply to be included in both parts, or just one- depending on your interests/abilities.

Auditions will be held on April 15th from 6-9pm.
