The Villains Theatre is seeking submissions of interest for a new musical, Rain on the Parade, which will be taking place at the Neptune Scotiabank Studio Theatre, June 19-25 2023. We are looking for performers from all backgrounds and of all ages and genders. This project is open to CAEA and non-CAEA performers. 

DETAILS

Audition times:  Auditions will take place in 10 minute slots on
Sat April 15 – 9am-1pm and Sun April 16 – 1pm-7pm

We are asking for auditionees to prepare a classical monologue, a song, or song excerpt (accompanied or not) and if possible a second contrasting song or song excerpt (accompanied or not). A keyboard will be available at the auditions. Each piece should be roughly 1-3 minutes. We will also be doing a singing range test with auditionees, and would love to know if you play any instruments. There is NO requirement for the songs and monologue to be memorized in advance – on-book is fine! 

Auditions will take place at the Bus Stop Theatre Community Room, which is a space at the back/basement of the Bus Stop Theatre, accessed off 2268 Maitland Street. For accessibility details for the space, please click here.

Auditions will take place in-person, however if you are unable to make the audition dates or cannot attend in person for accessibility reasons, we will accept virtual submissions as well.
