Come to AUDITION!

Sundre Arts Centre
Peak Theatre Players is considering one of two plays for their upcoming Spring production. Auditions for each will be held on the same night and the final choice of play will depend on the outcome of the evening.
Both plays are written by Canadian playwright, Norm Foster.
This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who has been considering participating in community theatre.
Rehearsals will be held one to two evenings a week beginning in early March.
Performance dates: May 2-10, 2025.
Play One: Halfway There
Cast: 4 Females, 1 Male
This play is a testament to friendship amongst four females. A new doctor arrives in town and his interest in one of them creates a chain of events that each character handles through humour and strength. A well balanced play that provides equal acting opportunity for all characters.
Play Two: Opening Night
Cast: 3 Females, 5 Males
Opening Night it is a snapshot of a collection of people on hand for the opening night of a play of questionable merit. Typical of Norm Foster, it is a play of charm and humour with a nice balance of enjoyable roles.

Auditions
Several months before we stage a play, we hold auditions to select the best available cast for the script.
Typically, we advertise via email several weeks before, describing the script and the cast required.
Auditions are typically "cold readings" which means that the director selects representative passages for the readings, briefly describes the scene and characters and the actors take their best shot at doing a decent reading.
It's all very low-pressure, and can be a lot of fun. Soon afterwards, casting is announced (via email) and rehearsals commence.
Workshops
Periodically, we host theatre workshops on topics such as acting, directing, production, make up or playwrighting which are advertised via email and are open to the public. Participants are encouraged to register in advance.
There are presently no workshops scheduled, but please check back from time to time.
