AUDITION POLICY
It is the policy of St Albert Dinner Theatre that all auditions are open to the public.
We need and want any interested people, newcomers and stage veterans alike, to participate in
the fun and excitement of live theatre.
We publicize our auditions online, through social media and theatrealberta.com
to attempt to make all interested parties aware of our performing opportunities.
Because the directors of our plays only have limited roles for which they are casting,
everybody who auditions will not be selected for a part.
However, we are also always in need of assistance in other areas of theatre,
including front of house and backstage activities, so people who are not selected
for acting roles have other enjoyable activities available.
We invite all members of the public to participate in these activities, as well.
