AUDITIONS

Thank you for your interest in auditioning for the Stephenville Theatre Festival. 

We are looking for versatile artists who identify as comedic actors, strong vocalists, and/or a triple threat performers. Playing an instrument is a plus. We are also looking to showcase country music as well as some folk, rock and pop. 
 
The desired dates are from mid June-August 19th. The starting date may  shift depending on which shows you are cast in. 
 
These auditions will be general auditions. Auditions asks for certain roles will be requested at a later date on a case by case basis.
 
Things to note about STF: 
  • The Stephenville Theatre Festival is the longest running professional theatre company in Newfoundland.
  • STF works under the DOT for CAEA actors and otherwise is a non-union company.
  • Typically STF shows run for four weeks in rep mid July to mid august with 3-4 weeks of rehearsal before that (so a 8-9 week contract). We will be announcing the full season and schedule in late March.  The intended dates for this season are July 18th-August 17th with rehearsals beginning the first week of June. 
  • The STF season will be announced in the coming weeks. Some artists will be contracted to perform in multiple productions in repertoire.
  • We encourage all levels of experience and age ranges to apply; artists under 18 yrs of age may only be considered as part of our young company.  
We encourage submissions from artists who self-identify as members of under-represented communities including but not limited to artists of all genders, ethnicities, abilities and identities and/or facing other systemic challenges in our industry.
