Auditions
Do you like to express yourself on stage, or do you prefer to work behind the scenes? Regina Little Theatre provides opportunities for actors and backstage personnel of all skill levels and experience to participate in its amateur productions.
Open auditions for main stage and one-act plays are held on the lower level of the Regina Performing Arts Centre located at 1077 Angus Street (at 4th Avenue). Auditions are held on two or three consecutive days for each play, begin promptly at 7:30 p.m., and last for approximately two hours each evening. Group readings of script excerpts take place in the presence of the director, stage manager, and other auditionees. While individuals may attend more than one evening of auditions, they are guaranteed to read at their first session only. Callbacks may be held at the discretion of the director.
It is recommended that participants arrive a bit early to complete an audition form. Acting résumés and headshot photos will be accepted but are not required.
People are also needed for a variety of production positions. If you would like to be a member of the stage crew or have an interest in set construction, costumes, lighting, sound, makeup, or any other area, drop by at the beginning of an audition session to fill in a form. And if you'd like to try your hand at directing or stage management, we'd definitely like to hear from you.

Main Stage Play
Helium
By Julian Wiles
Directed by Nora Berg
Produced by special arrangement with Dramatic Publishing
Performances: April 15 - 18, 2020
Auditions: February 10 & 11, 2020
Helium is the moving and uplifting story of a brilliant, humorous, and creative chemistry teacher who braves the trials of aging while keeping her imagination, charm, and dignity intact. "Hysterium" and "preposterous" are two of the elements that former teacher Molly Kingsley "discovers" in the laboratories of her wandering, 80-year-old mind. With the help of colorful bunches of helium-filled balloons, she takes off on flights of fancy to the seashore of her youth, her old high-school chemistry classroom, and an early episode of Star Trek. Back on earth, Mrs. Kingsley's daughter struggles to keep her headstrong mother's feet firmly on the ground and her mind solidly anchored in reality. As sparks fly between mother and daughter, Mrs. Kingsley's grandsons watch in wonder as their mischievous grandmother slips away day by day into the mysterious and unfathomable clouds of dementia.
