Workshop West Playwrights Theatre will be conducting General Auditions and Interviews with Edmonton artists seeking to introduce or better acquaint themselves with our artistic team.
Edmonton-based actors, playwrights, directors, dramaturgs, designers, stage managers and other artists interested in supporting Workshop West’s mission and mandate are invited to submit for audition and interview times on March 18 and 20 between 11:30AM and 6:30PM, as well as, March 19 between 3:30PM and 8:30PM. Heather Inglis and Jake Tkaczyk will be in attendance.
We honour and celebrate local artists and their power to enrich and transform our community. We welcome artists of all ethnicities, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, religious affiliations, and abilities. Workshop West’s auditions, rehearsal, and performances spaces are accessible.
Workshop West hires artists for its Mainstage Season, the Springboards Festival, workshops/readings, and the Writes of Passage Program which brings professional artists to schools to explore playwriting with Alberta students.

We thank all artists in advance for their interest, however, only those selected for an audition or meeting will be scheduled.
The deadline for submissions or requests is March 10, 2025.
Auditions and interviews will take place in person in person. Each will be 15 minutes in length and take place at the Gateway Theatre (8529 Gateway Boulevard Edmonton, Alberta).

Artists engaged in any production will be engaged under Canadian Actors Equity Association (CAEA), Associated Designers of Canada (ADC), and Playwrights Guild of Canada (PGC) contracts.
