This page is for theatre professionals, theatre students or anyone who is interested in the craft of Theatre For Young Audiences (TYA) generally and Roseneath Theatre specifically.

For Playwrights

If you are interested in purchasing scipts or knowing more about the work of our Artistic Director, David S. Craig, please see our staff.

If you are interested in making a submission or applying for an OAC Playwrights Reserve Grant, please read the following carefully.

We produce or present original dramatic literature for children.  Our largest cast size to date is four plus a stage manager.  Generally our plays are in one act and run 50-54 mintues.  We create productions with specific audiences in mind:  Primary (Kindergarten to Grade 3), Junior (Grades 4-6, can play up to 7-8), High School (9-12, can play down to 7-8).

 Playwrights frequently ask 'what are you looking for'?  It's an honest question, but a hard one to answer.  In essence, we're looking for world class TYA.

Making submissions...please approach us with a one or two page outline which would include the idea, the target audience, the cast size, the story and whatever else you think is important. 

For Actors

We are a professional Canadian theatre and, presently, the largest working under the Independent Theatre Agreement (ITA).  We almost always hire full Equity (CAEA) actors.  We pay above Equity base rates. 

We audition and hire actors throughout the season, but do most of our auditioning in June and September.  We audition for specific roles yearly, and hold generals every two years.

To get an audition please do not approach us directly.  Ask your agent to submit you when they receive a breakdown from us.  If your agent has never received a breakdown, ask them to contact us and we'll add them to our list.
