Project X Theatre is now accepting submissions to audition for Theatre Under the Trees 2025.
Theatre Under the Trees is an annual outdoor theatre festival for families and a summer tradition for Kamloopsians. This summer, we are delighted to produce Thumbelina, adapted for the stage by Jakob Kopytko, and The Emperor's New Threads, by Peter Anderson and Melody Anderson.
Rehearsals and performances will be part time, on an alternating schedule. Contract dates: June 4th-July 26th, 2025.
Project X Theatre encourages submissions from those who self-identify as belonging to underrepresented communities. We strive to be a safe and supportive place to work and to grow as an artist.
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 surrouning 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.
