Performer Audition Applications for Seasons in the Bight 2026
Rising Tide Theatre is now accepting audition submissions for performers in our Seasons in the Bight 2026 festival. Performers should be aware that they are applying to be considered for ALL productions in our upcoming festival season.
All performance positions are paid with varying start dates and work days, dependent on casting. Chosen performers will be expected to relocate to the Trinity Bight area for the duration of their contract with housing in the area to be provided by the company for that duration.
Some exceptions to relocation may apply, please contact us for details.
Most performance positions will have a start date in early to mid-June and run until Labour day, with a possibility of starting slightly earlier dependent on casting.
Anyone wishing to be considered for a performance position in Rising Tide Theatre's Seasons in the Bight 2026 festival MUST audition.
All auditions and callbacks will be held at the St. John's Arts and Culture Centre.
