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
Marjorie Prime
By Jordan Harrison
Directed by Amanda Schenstead
Produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
Performances: June 12 - 15, 2019
Auditions: March 18 & 19, 2019
It's the age of artificial intelligence, and 85-year-old Marjorie, who is a jumble of disparate, fading memories, has a handsome new companion who's programmed to feed the story of her life back to her. What would we remember and what would we forget, if given the chance? In this richly spare, wondrous new play, Jordan Harrison explores the mysteries of human identity and the limits, if any, of what technology can replace. This is a thinker's play, with a touch of weirdness and a fair amount of comedy.
Casting
2 females, 2 males
Marjorie (Female, 80s) - Likable, direct, smart, and dry witted. A former violinist battling dementia who has a contentious relationship with her adult daughter. She has a better rapport with her son-in-law.
Walter (Male, 30s) - Handsome, warm, and charming. Loves Marjorie and treats her like an equal, not like an elderly woman in need of care. He is an advanced form of artificial intelligence who takes on the younger form of Marjorie's deceased husband.
Tess (Female, 50s) - Marjorie's daughter. Smart, judgemental, and a worrier. Despite her good intentions, her relationship with her mother is fraught with bickering. She struggles with the idea of having Walter as Marjorie's companion.
Jon (Male, 50s) - Tess's husband and Marjorie's son-in-law. Warm, caring, tolerant, and deeply in love with his wife. Thinks of others before himself. A natural peacemaker and a bit of a technology geek.
