Auditions at The Barn Playhouse

"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"

"More than Meets the Eye"

HAVE YOU EVER SAID, "I'D LIKE TO TRY THAT!" Our actors come from all walks of life and live all over the community.

The Barn Playhouse is a community theatre. All our actors are amateur actors who have other occupations. You don't need any experience, just a willingness to try and to learn!

In fact, a number of our familiar faces on stage started out watching in the audience and one day decided to be brave enough to come to an audition!

Most community theatres don't re-imburse you, but because it requires travelling to the barn for all rehearsals, we help you out with that. We have all actors keep track of their mileage and re-imburse .08 per km. There is also a $50 honourarium for all cast and crew members.

We rehearse for 4-5 weeks before the show begins, 5-6 days a week. Not all actors are scheduled for all rehearsals. A reheasal schedule is worked out that takes us from the 1st rehearsal to the last performance.

"Christmas Belles"

"The Crazy Quilt Club"

The rehearsal schedule is worked out based on the schedules of the actors involved. We try to accommodate as much as we can, but once the rehearsal schedule is made, we ask that you work around that. Depending on the show, not all actors are scheduled for all rehearsals, but it is a big committment.

It makes life quite busy for the summer, but the experience is WELL WORTH IT!

General Audition Guidelines:

Auditions are open to everyone.
No appointments are necessary, auditions are conducted on a first-come first served basis.
If the audition date does not suit you please call 239-4600 to make alternate arrangements for an audition.
Casting can take up to two weeks. You will be notified if your presence is required at a call back audition.
Auditioners will be asked to read from the play - it will be a "cold reading".
Please take note of performance dates and standard REHEARSAL SCHEDULE. Bring any conflicts to note on your audition form.
We are a community theatre. All actors are volunteers, but because everyone will need to travel out to the Barn for all rehearsals we try to help out with the cost of fuel. Should you be cast in a roll you will be asked to keep track of the kilometers your vehicle has accumulated driving out to the Barn and will be reimbursed 10 cents per kilometer. There is also a $50 honorarium.
