Audition Information & Submission Instructions

National Arts Centre English Theatre Artistic Director Nina Lee Aquino will be conducting general auditions at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa with an eye to casting upcoming seasons of artistic activity. Eligibility and Priority Considerations Performers are eligible for a general audition with Ms Aquino only once every three years. Priority will be given to those local to the Ottawa-Gatineau region, and to CAEA members. What to Prepare Performers are asked to prepare two contemporary, contrasting monologues from the works of Canadian playwrights written in 2000 or later, of no more than two minutes each (see recommended monologue resources below). Alternatively, performers can opt for one two-minute monologue along with a song of no more than two minutes. No accompaniment will be provided but artists are welcome to accompany themselves acoustically or electronically. Out of respect for everyone’s time, please note that time limits will be strictly observed. Submissions: https://naccna.jotform.com/262315503224244
