We are currently only considering submissions from Calgary-based actors. While we thank all those who submit, only those selected to audition will be contacted.
Selected actors will be sent an audition invitation and asked to prepare one Shakespeare monologue. Please also be prepared to chat a bit with the team in attendance and know that you may or may not be redirected on your audition material.
As an organization, The Shakespeare Company is committed to representing our community on our stage. As such, all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard for race, colour, religion, gender, gender identification, sexual orientation, national origin, ability or age. Based on the diversity of applicants, this may lead to experimentation with changes in – for example – the age, gender, orientation, or ethnicity of characters. We strongly encourage applicants from populations that have been traditionally under-represented.
If there are any potential barriers (language, disability, access need, or any other considerations) preventing you from applying to audition please let us know and we will collaborate with you to find solutions.
The Morpheus Rehearsal Centre has two wheelchair accessible entrances.
Equity members will be seen first at all open audition calls. Equity members cast in this production will be engaged under an Equity form of contract.
