![Burning Passions Theatre Auditions in Ottawa!
Burning Passions Theatre, an Ottawa-based professional theatre company founded over 27 years ago, is holding General Auditions in May in Ottawa for both Equity and non-Equity performers.
General auditions are a way for artists - both established and emerging - to meet our artistic team and for us to get to know more about you. They are an opportunity for us to encounter new voices and connect with those interested in participating in our work. For Equity members, we will be contracting under the Dance, Opera, Theatre Policy.
Auditions will take place in a space that is physically accessible and scent-free. If you require specific accommodations, please indicate them in your submission and we will do our best to arrange them.
