We typically perform 2 shows a day, 5 days a week with Monday and Tuesday off. An average work day is approximately 5-6 hours. The rehearsal schedule varies. Actors should expect to have approximately 325 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 MUST BE SUBMITTED IN VIDEO FORM AND SHOULD INCLUDE:

short monologue
song of your choice (with accompaniment) PLUS the Canadian anthem sung a capella
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.

We are ALWAYS looking for people who can play the piano, or who can do choreography.

Additional wages available for the actor who takes on the SM position as well as acting.
