Burning Passions Theatre Auditions in Ottawa!

Burning Passions Theatre, an Ottawa-based professional theatre company founded over 27 years ago, is holding General Auditions in May in Ottawa for both Equity and non-Equity performers.

General auditions are a way for artists - both established and emerging - to meet our artistic team and for us to get to know more about you. They are an opportunity for us to encounter new voices and connect with those interested in participating in our work. For Equity members, we will be contracting under the Dance, Opera, Theatre Policy.

Auditions will take place in a space that is physically accessible and scent-free. If you require specific accommodations, please indicate them in your submission and we will do our best to arrange them.

Ethnocultural mandate or casting statement:

Burning Passions Theatre is committed to fostering an equitable, inclusive and safe environment at every level of our work. We actively welcome submissions from artists who self-identify as Indigenous, Black, racialized, 2SLGBTQIA+, Deaf, disabled, neurodivergent, newcomer, or from any other equity-seeking community that has been historically under-represented in Canadian theatre.

TO SUBMIT:

Please email a headshot and resume to info@bptheatre.ca. Label the subject line of your submission as follows: [BURNING PASSIONS THEATRE GENERAL AUDITION - NAME]. Please also indicate a preferred time and date for your audition. See audition times and dates below. No phone calls please. We will send you the location and directions with an email inviting you to audition. No phone calls please.
