Mamma Mia!

It’s Show Time – here is your audition center! With all Audition information

Production dates; we have been able to tentatively book The Centre for “move in” day on Sunday April 12th and striking the set on Sunday April 26th. The week of April 13th will be heavy with tech and dress rehearsals in the evenings followed by performances that weekend, and the following weekend. There is a tentative rehearsal calendar that you can check out here.

Be sure to sign up for auditions now, on both the Audition Slot doc and by completing this form. Be sure to attend the General Acting Auditions on Tuesday October 28th from 7pm-8:30. As part of the General Acting Auditions expect to do some dance/choreography.
There is a doc with Character Information to help you learn more about the characters.
For your vocal audition, choose a song that you know well and be prepared to sing it, preference is ‘a cappella’ or a ‘karaoke’ track. You only need ONE Verse ONE Chorus, I will cut you off if you go longer.
A sample singing audition.
Singing auditions will be done in small groups, first you will sing scales individually, this allows us to see your range as well gives us a chance to hear your pitch, see if you can hear yourself and correct, and allows us to see how you respond to singing with a musician.
After a group does their scales we will move onto your prepared piece. This should be preferably memorized, put effort into it and sell yourself. This does not need to be from the show, but could be. Preference is to keep it short to respect everyone’s time, one verse and one chorus is usually enough. If you make a mistake, that is fine, own it and go with it. If adding some choreography – keep it simple, as the focus is on voice.
If bringing music, please have it cued and ready to go, we do not want to wait for you to find it and bring it up. I do NOT recommend singing with an earbud or headphones on, as usually people sing off key when doing this.
Please reach out with any questions; theatre17dryden@gmail.com

Discover the Magic of Silly Billy
2025-10-16 18:30 - 20:30 (America/Toronto) | Ontario
At the heart of the story is Billy, a rare white buffalo, unhappy with his uniqueness, who embarks on a quest to find the mythical Unicorn. Through playful mishaps, enchanting adventures, and moments of self-discovery, Billy learns to embrace his difference and takes his rightful place as the legendary great white buffalo of the plains.
Created for children in Kindergarten through Grade 4 but brimming with humour and artistry that captivates parents and adults alike, Silly Billy has been celebrated for its laughter-filled performances and its powerful message of self-acceptance.
A creative collaboration between choreographers Arik Pipestem (Canada’s Got Talent; So You Think You Can Dance Canada; Cirque du Soleil in Totem.), and Amy Hampton (Paula Citron Award for choreography (Dance Made in Canada Festival), 2024 Dora-nominated), this production intertwines Indigenous hoop dance and classical ballet, guided by the visionary direction of Malgorzata Nowacka-May (Dora-nominated work 2024, Paula Citron Award, two time Chalmers Award recipient), and enriched by shadow puppetry, theatre, and a dose of delightful shenanigans, with cultural consultation by Elder Shirley Horn to ensure authentic storytelling and cultural respect.
