General Audition Information
Storytime Theatre always hosts open auditions, encouraging youth from anywhere in the Ottawa/Gatineau region to apply. No theatre experience required. No need to prepare or bring any materials unless otherwise stated.
All casting decisions are made at the discretion of the Director. Storytime Theatre is committed to fostering an inclusive and welcoming environment, and we encourage all performers to audition for any role that interests them, regardless of gender, appearance, or experience.
Book an Audition
Auditions for our Fall 2026 programs are now open. Time slots are limited, so we encourage early booking. You can also update your time slot later by resubmitting the form or contacting us at info@storytimetheatre.ca.
So what are we looking for when we cast a show?
1 / Projection
Projection is the ability to speak loudly and clearly so that the audience can hear you, even from the very back row of the theatre. It’s not about shouting, but about using strong breath support and clear articulation to make your voice carry. We're looking for actors who can speak with energy, confidence, and clarity, while still sounding natural and expressive.
2 / Expression
Expression is how you bring emotion and personality to your performance. This includes facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, and energy. We're looking for actors who aren’t afraid to commit to a character and make bold choices, whether it’s being silly, dramatic, excited, or nervous. The more you let your personality shine through, the better!
3 / Responsibility
Responsibility means being mature enough to commit to the full rehearsal and performance schedule. We’re looking for students who take the process seriously, show up on time, come prepared, and are ready to work as part of a team. Theatre is a group effort, and being dependable is one of the most important qualities an actor can have.
