We are holding open auditions for our 2024 Season of Plays on November 25th and 26th, 2023. We are casting performers ages 14 – 70+. No acting experience required, just a willingness to learn.
Auditions will be held in the Schofield Room at the Haliburton Legion (719 Mountain St, Haliburton, ON. To book an audition slot now, fill out the google form, and a member of the Ctrl-ART-Del will be in touch.
Detailed information about the shows and available roles can be found here.
If you are interested in auditioning, but are not available on November 25 and 26, email us at info@ctrlartdel.ca so we can find another time to see you.
The Audition Process:
It is possible for a performer to appear in all three shows if they wish to do so. Please mark on your audition form which show(s) you would like to be considered for, and we will cover all of them in the same audition.
If you are auditioning for Mustard and/or The Wolves, you will be asked to perform a short scene from the show for the creative team. The sides (short pieces of the script) that you will be working from can be found here.
If auditioning for Mustard, please choose sides for the character you would like to audition for (sides are labelled with the characters’ names).
If auditioning for a member of the soccer team in The Wolves, you may choose any one of Sides 1 – 9 that you would like to perform. If you are auditioning as the Soccer Mom, please prepare her sides.
These sides do not need to be memorized, but please get comfortable with the words so that you don’t need to be glued to the paper. A member of the creative team will read the scene with you.
We may also ask you to do a cold reading (an unrehearsed reading) from a different scene, or as a different character, in the audition. You do not need to prepare anything for this.
If you are auditioning only for the Cabaret, there is no need to prepare any sides in advance. We will ask you to do a cold reading from one of the short plays for your audition.
Musical Auditions:
Musicians interested in performing in the Cabaret do not need to attend in-person auditions.
If you are interested in singing or playing music as a part of the Cabaret, please record a short video of you performing a song (no more than 5 minutes in length) and post it to YouTube as an unlisted video. Email us the link at info@ctrlartdel.ca (ensure that you have permissions set to allow anyone with the link to view the video).
All videos must be sent to us by 11:59 PM on November 26, 2023.

We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive audition experience for all. If there are any accommodations you need from us to allow you to give your best audition, send us a message at info@ctrlartdel.ca
