Project X Theatre is now accepting submissions to audition for Theatre Under the Trees 2023.
Theatre Under the Trees is an annual outdoor theatre festival for families and a summer tradition for Kamloops families. This summer, we are delighted to produce The Hobbit, adapted for the stage by Greg Banks, and The Incredible Adventures of Mary Jane Mosquito by Tomson Highway.
Rehearsals and performances will be part time, on an alternating schedule. Contract dates: June 7th-July 29th, 2023.
Project X Theatre encourages submissions from those who self-identify as belonging to underrepresented communities and is searching for an Indigenous performer for The Incredible Adventures of Mary Jane Mosquito.
More information about what performers can expect during Theatre Under the Trees can be found here. CAEA artists will be engaged under the D.O.T. Agreement.
At this time, Project X Theatre is only able to consider artists from Kamloops and the surrounding region. The surrounding region may include Chase, Merritt, Ashcroft, Barriere, and other communities within reasonable driving distance. Unfortunately, Project X Theatre is unable to provide accommodations in the city for out of town performers.
