ACCESS AND INCLUSION:
Access and inclusion are incredibly important to us. In our audition and rehearsal spaces, our studios are situated on the first floor, ensuring convenient accessibility without needing to use stairs. Ample seating options are provided for Artists to use while waiting or taking breaks, along with two fully private washrooms within the premises. Clear signage will be prominently displayed throughout the space to offer guidance. Each studio is equipped with loading-sized doors, facilitating unimpeded entry for wheelchair users. Performances will take place at the Stanley BFL Canada Stage, while we aspire for inclusivity and accessibility for all artists, regrettably, the current infrastructure does not accommodate wheelchair users.
For those artists who have barriers to access to any part of our process as laid out, please don't hesitate to reach out to us and we will happily work with you to allow you to show us your artistry in whatever format is easiest and accessible to you.

AUDITION NOTICE:
Arts Club Theatre Company’s Production of
John Proctor Is the Villain
By Kimberly Belflower
Directed By Arthi Chandra
In a small-town Georgia high school, a group of students are studying The Crucible and begin to question the way heroes—and history—are defined. As classroom discussions unfold, the girls in the class start to see parallels between Salem’s witch trials and their own community. When a local scandal shakes the town, debates about John Proctor’s character become personal and urgent. The play blends humor and heart as it explores friendship, power, reputation, and what it means to speak up and be believed.
