Audition Notice
More Info | + My Favorites
TBA
Call for Performers for 2009-10. Everyman. Author Unknown. The Studio, Vertigo Theatre Centre, Calgary. February 24-March 6, 2010. This show has a possibility of touring in 2010 / 2011. Theatre Encounter is looking for dynamic performers for its productions. We do a type of performance that often mixes all art forms, and is based on physical interpretations of the text. As such, actors, dancers, singers and / or musicians are encouraged to apply (although past training in dancing, singing or music is not mandatory). Productions are highly physical, and use varied forms of theatre to visually express the text. There is usually a training period that is prior / part of the extended rehearsal process to introduce these variances. For the audition, please prepare two contrasting monologues, or, one monologue and a movement / singing / music performance piece. One piece should be from a ‘classic’ text. Please also bring a hardcopy of your headshot and resume to the actual audition. Auditions will be 1hr group auditions with slots for individual work. Auditions: Aug 30th (during the day) and 31st (during the eve), 2009.

Harvest Pumpkin Hunts
More Info | + My Favorites
TBA
Off we go on the tractor-pulled hay wagon, rolling through the crunchy fall leaves just hoping to find some... kid-sized pumpkins! Once we find some, we'll bring them back and decorate them into creative pumpkin-head masterpieces! While the glue sets up, everyone can have a visit with their favorite animal friends in the farmyard. It's harvest fun at it's best! This makes one of those 'parties to remember'! And of course, all the children have their wonderful pumpkin to take home! Be sure to dress for the weather and bring along the camera to catch the expressions of delight and discovery! And... wear something orange to celebrate the spectacular fall season! Timing?? ....the hunt and decorating usually take 40 - 50 minutes, and then whatever time you'd like to spend in the farmyard.....we see most folks spend 1.5 to 2 hours with us. You must be here at least 15 minutes before your hunt so we have everyone together so the hunts can run on time.
