We’ve got a great artistic team ready and we’re excited to put together fantastic casts for these productions.

Because we are doing both a musical and an operetta, please prepare three pieces. However, please note that due to time constraints, not all three pieces may be heard.

  • 1 opera/classical
  • 1 musical theatre
  • 1 own choice

Auditions will be taking place on:

  • Sunday, September 21 (1pm to 5pm)
  • Monday, September 22 (7pm to 10pm)
  • Wednesday, September 24 (7pm to 10pm)

IMPORTANT: Please be available for callbacks on Sunday, September 28 (1pm to 5pm).

NOTE: For non-singing actors, there are three non-singing roles in The Fantasticks. So if acting is your strong suit, make sure to audition for us!

How do I sign up for an audition?

Come visit us at clubs days in the SUB from September 17-19 to hear more about our productions and to sign up for audition spots!

Or, you can email us at info@gsubc.com to reserve a spot.

Looking forward to seeing you at auditions!

This classic comic operetta tells the story of Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado of Japan, who escapes the court to avert marriage to the elderly Katisha. Disguised as a rhythm guitarist, he falls in love with Yum-Yum, who is betrothed to a tailor named Ko-Ko. With a chorus of Japanese businessmen and anime schoolgirls, this updated re-telling of The Mikado is surefire crowd-pleaser.

Wed. Jan. 30: 7pm
Thurs. Jan. 31: 7pm
Fri. Feb. 1: 7pm
Sat. Feb. 2: 2pm

At Kitsilano Secondary School (2550 W. 10th Ave)
