General Audition Tips for Our Community Theatre:

Arrive 10-15 minutes early to fill out paperwork.

Wear comfortable clothing you can move in.

Auditions are friendly and low-pressure! We're here to see what you can do, not to trick you.

All roles are open. We cast based on who best fits the role, not on prior affiliation.

Q: Do I need to be a member or have experience to audition? 

A: Not at all! Our auditions are open to the entire community, and we welcome all experience levels to participate in our upcoming auditions. 

Q: Are there roles for children/teens? 

A: For this production, we are specifically seeking female performers aged 17 and older. 

Q: What is the rehearsal commitment? 

A: Typically, rehearsals are Saturday from 1-6 PM. More rehearsals will be added just before show week as needed, and not all actors are required to attend every night. The specific schedules will be determined by the director. 

Q: Is this a paid opportunity? 

A: As a volunteer-based community theatre, all roles are non-paid. However, participating provides invaluable experience, a creative family, and the magic of live performance! 

Q: I'm interested in backstage work (crew, sets, costumes). Should I audition? 

A: Fantastic! Please skip the audition for that. Instead, visit our Volunteer Page or email our volunteer coordinator at info@dftproductions.ca. We always need helping hands!
