If you have read about Downstage's artistic mandate or have seen our work and think that you would like to get involved as an actor or in another artistic capacity, you'll find the information you need below. Auditions: We seek to provide opportunities to both emerging and established artists and do our best to see artists whose work we are not familiar with through our audition processes. When applicable, audition notices are sent out through our e-newsletter, but if you would like to be added to our actor database, please send a resume and headshot to us by mail. We apologize, but due to the volume of material we receive, we do not accept submissions electronically. Other Artistic Capacities: If you're looking to get involved as a director, assistant director, designer or in any other artistic capacity, please contact Artistic Producer Simon Mallett by e-mail at simon@downstage.ca. Script Submissions: If you have an original script or project that you would like Downstage to consider, please send an email to info@downstage.ca with a brief letter describing the name of the piece, a brief synopsis (200-300 words), the number of characters & performers required, and any relevant production history. We will contact you if we are interested in receiving the script by mail. Downstage also runs the Uprising National Playwriting Competition (a joint initiative with the Consortium for Peace Studies at the University of Calgary). Please click here for more information and submission guidelines for this competition. If you have any questions relating to artistic opportunities at Downstage, please contact us.
