🎭 3 Weeks Left to Submit your Self Tape Auditions! 🎭
Self-Tape Audition Submissions are OPEN for our August 10, 2024 “Shake-In-A-Day” Production of A Winter’s Tale.
Our production will take a different approach to the play in a day concept than we have used previously. However, the basic principle remains that the actors will not rehearse their production together with a director until the day of the performance! Actors must be available on Saturday August 10, 2024 from 9am-11pm.
Actors whose auditions are successful WILL rehearse some storytelling techniques and team building exercises with their fellow cast mates in the weeks leading up to the performance, however they will NOT be aware of casting information. Actors will need to be familiar with the play and ALL roles. Actors will be told which, if any, roles will be doubled.
If you would like to participate in our production of A Winter’s Tale Shake-In-A-Day please submit a self-tape audition to [email protected] by Tuesday April 30, 2024.
Your self-tape should include two contrasting speeches from any Shakespeare play (pieces do not need to be from the same production, nor do they need to be from A Winter’s Tale). You may send your speeches as two separate videos. Please slate at the top of each video with your name and act/scene/play details of your speech. You may wish to include a theatrical resume, please submit in PDF format. Please ensure you list any possible conflicts in your email so that our team building rehearsals can be worked around those where possible.
This is an Amateur, Non-Union, Non-Paid production. It is our “season opener” and as such is a light hearted, community building style of theatre. We get one shot at the performance, but loads of time to make friends and build a team.
If you have any questions please reach out to Lauren via email at [email protected] or send us a message on IG.
Please Note : Our Performance will take place at in their Performance Studio Theatre, located in Burlington, ON. Audience seating will be limited.

🎭 We only managed a few action shots from our Shrew in 6 performance because it was so hilariously fast paced, insanely befuddling, and entirely amusing ☕️
If you missed it, you’ll have to wait until next summer for our surprise show!
Yup, you heard right… SURPRISE show… where the actors won’t know what play it is until they arrive for rehearsals!
Stay tuned all fall/winter as we prep for our 2022 Season!
We’ve got some strange magic to perfect but we are certain to entertain!

🎭A little highlight from last nights show! It certainly was one of a kind! 🎭
Here plays both Baptista (father to Kate & Bianca) and Biondello (servant to Lucentio/Tranio) in a scene where both talk exclusively to one another for at least a page…
That’s Shrew in 6 for ya!

Our cast were asked the following 3 questions to help you get a sense of their personality before this crazy endeavour. They’ll have 6 hours to rehearse and pull off a full production (completely memorized 🤣) of The Taming of the Shrew, and they have NO IDEA what part they’re playing!
Here are the questions, and here are Noah’s answers! :
1. What is your favourite Shakespeare play?
Every time I read Hamlet I get something new out of it.
2. Who is your favourite Shakespeare character?
Viola in Twelfth Night, so quick on her feet and full of life.
3. How long do you think you’ll make it before you start improvising?
If all goes well, right off the bat. sure
