2024 Audition Poster

Join the cast of the Rossland
Gold Fever Follies
in its 38th Season

(minus 2020)

Where:

Rossland, BC. A historical gold mining city and Canada’s mountain bike capital nestled in the heart of the Kootenays

What:

A historical musical theatre summer show based on the gold rush days of the 1890’s.

Actor Salary: a guaranteed salary of $7500 for the season (PLUS free accommodation for non-locals)

SEASON: June 3 – August 25, 2024

  • Rehearsal schedule runs from June 3 – June 29
  • Performance season opens June 29 and ends
    August 24 (no matinee on June 29)
  • End of season “clean up” is August 25

We typically perform 2 shows a day, 5 days a week with Sunday and Monday off. An average work day is approximately 5-6 hours. The rehearsal schedule varies. Actors should expect to have approximately 300 hours of work (and “play”). Actors in female roles in particular will want to be in good physical shape (cardio) as they will be learning the cancan.

ALL AUDITIONS SHOULD INCLUDE:

  1. short monologue
  2. song of your choice (with accompaniment) PLUS the Canadian anthem sung a capella
  3. dance and/or musical talents
***Please include a headshot, resumé, and contact information for at least 2 references***

Our shows ALWAYS include a couple of cancan numbers, and whenever possible, some tap numbers. Therefore, anyone auditioning for a female role is encouraged to have a short dance piece prepared that demonstrates their ability to do a high kick. The ability to do the splits (even fake ones), and/or a cartwheel (or other gymnastic abilities) can be demonstrated separately. All candidates are encouraged to demonstrate any dance skills, especially tap.

Dance training is available, when required.
