General Auditions held June 15 & 16, 2056

Gateway Theatre strives to be an equitable and inclusive workplace. We value an open and diverse community that fosters the inclusion of many different voices. We encourage applications from members of communities that have been marginalized based on sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, or identity as an Indigenous person. We welcome self-identification in your application.
Gateway Theatre is situated on the traditional lands of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking peoples.

Western Canada Theatre tells stories on the traditional & unceded territory of Tk'emlúps te Secwépemc, whose people are the traditional stewards of this land.
WCT is committed to diversity in the workplace and we encourage all artists to submit, and to self-identify if they so choose. We welcome submissions from artists with a broad range of backgrounds including, but not limited to race, ethnicity, Indigeneity, gender, gender- identification, sexual orientation, class and physical ability. If there are any barriers (language, disability, or any other considerations) preventing you from submitting, please let us know and we will work with you to overcome them.

Please also note any accommodations or accessibility requirements in your cover email and we will do our best to meet you where you are.
