General Auditions: Call for Actors, Musicians & Artistic Teams

The Musical Stage Company is Canada’s largest and leading charitable musical theatre organization. Our musical productions – including award-winning contemporary musicals, world premieres, and concerts – are seen live by 30,000 people over the 80+ nights that we are onstage annually. We are looking to meet an expanded network of performers, directors, choreographers, music directors, and designers, both emerging and established. These General Auditions will be hosted online and in person in December 2021.

We request that no agent packages be sent as we are interested in experiencing the artist’s individual voice through their Artist Statement. Agents are still welcome to submit clients for specific shows at any time.
