Young Company
The Stirling Festival Theatre is dedicated to nurturing young talent and the love of theatre through our SFT Young Company.
If you are between the ages 10 and 18, you will experience the opportunity to come together and create fully staged productions under the mentorship of professionals in the Canadian theatre industry.
Learning not only your lines, songs, choreography and backstage management skills, you will also experience the magic of live entertainment and how to fulfill a commitment and work as a team.
"The true purpose of an arts education is not necessarily to create more professional dancers or artists. It's to create more complete human beings who are critical thinkers, who have curious minds, who can lead productive lives.”
― Kelly Pollock
FAQs – Young Company
-
There is no charge!
-
All of the rehearsals will be at SFT, either onstage or in the upstairs Eugene Burrell Hall. Performances are on the Main Stage.
-
Each production has different age requirements. Please check back and the age range will be included in the audition notice for the next show.
-
Yes. Please have a song and a one to two minute audition piece (monologue or spoken word piece) ready. We will not be timing it, so don’t worry if it is a bit shorter or longer. You will need to bring a CD with backing tracks or sing a cappella (without musical accompaniment).
-
You may be asked to provide a few small things that you probably already have at home (shoes, etc.), but we will provide you with any costumes or make-up specific to your role.
-
We make exceptions for emergencies, bad weather, illness etc. – but other than those extreme circumstances, you cannot unexpectedly miss a rehearsal or, of course, a performance.
