General Audition Notice
2025-2026 Season

The Grand Theatre will be holding general auditions for our 2025-2026 season in London, ON and Toronto, ON.
 

Dates

London: Friday, February 7, 2025
Toronto: Monday, February 10, 2025 & Tuesday, February 11, 2025

The Grand Theatre operates on the traditional lands and territories of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, and Lunaapewak. We value the significant historical and contemporary contributions of local and regional First Nations, and all of the Original Peoples of Turtle Island (also known as North America), and acknowledge the traditional lands upon which we live, work and tell stories together.
 

Our Commitment

At the Grand we are committed to creating and practicing a company culture that ensures an accessible, equitable, inclusive, and welcoming space for artists, audiences, donors, board members, and staff. We actively encourage submissions from artists who self-identify as being part of underserved communities. It is our mission to reflect the diversity of our community on and off our stages. If you can see yourself on our stage, so can we!

Access and inclusion are important to us. If you have any questions regarding the Grand’s accessibility policies and initiatives, or any requests, we encourage you to review the Grand’s Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Reconciliation commitment on our website or reach out to Vanessa Spence, Associate Producer & Company Manager, at vspence [at] grandtheatre.com (vspence[at]grandtheatre[dot]com).
