When an area has a belief that they need to travel to see great quality work, it’s sometimes hard to make these same audiences recognize that high-quality work is not only being shown, but is being created in their area and on their doorstep.

Review
“Even though it may be a general audition the theatre will probably be looking to cast the season they’ve announced. If there’s something the actor thinks they’re appropriate for they should attempt to do everything possible to win the role by tailoring the choice of monologue to the role they think they’re right for.” – George Pothitos, Artistic Director of Neptune Theatre (Halifax)
“Generally, I just really enjoy it when actors come in with a positive attitude and are excited to share their work with us. That makes it a pleasure to audition them and a good experience for us as well…if actors are relaxed and are able to share who they are with us, the chances of us using them is much better. “ – Mieko Ouchi, Artistic Director of Concrete Theatre (Edmonton)
