The Original Free Resource for the Vancouver Acting Community
Disney's The Little Mermaid
Each summer we also hire a very limited number of Canadian Actors’ Equity artists, who are paid union rates, alongside our professional technicians (members of IATSE Local 118), our Creative Team (who are often CAEA members), and design team. Members of the orchestra also receive small honoraria. Since 2018, we have been able to offer non-CAEA performers and backstage crew an “Expense Offset Payment” to help with some of the costs of participating in our shows (e.g., parking and/or transportation).
Audition process and requirements may vary from show to show and from previous years. Please review full details at: https://www.tuts.ca/shows-and-tickets/audition-info/
For CAEA/UBCP/ACTRA Members, please submit your updated headshot and resume to Kevin Woo, General Manager at auditions@tuts.ca by October 1st, 2025. Only actors selected for an audition will be contacted with audition materials and an appointment. (Note this option is only available to full CAEA members, not apprentices.)
We will be only accepting CAEA/UBCP/ACTRA submissions for the following roles:
Ariel
Prince Eric
Ursula
Scuttle
Sebastian
King Triton
For non-union artists, please book your audition time through the links above.
We seek to provide a showcase, a training ground and/or a great summer experience for performers and backstage crew. We welcome both emerging or amateur performers, who may have jobs and careers outside the theatre, and students of theatre who are looking to gain experience and showcase their talent in a working theatre environment.
Theatre Under the Stars encourages submissions from artists of all backgrounds, regardless of race, gender, national origin, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. When making casting decisions, the Creative Teams consider many different criteria; one is that we envision a cast that reflects the rich diversity of our performing arts community and of the communities across the Metro Vancouver area.
ACCESSIBILITY
TUTS is committed to helping to remove any barriers preventing an individual from attending auditions. We will do our best to accommodate anyone who wishes to be seen. Please email auditions@tuts.ca for any questions or requirements you may need (ie. child minding, mobility needs, sensory processing differences)
HEALTH & SAFETY
To address concerns for health and safety, we will be following a Communicable Disease Prevention Plan during auditions. These protocols include:
Touchless hand sanitizing stations will be provided at key entry and exit points to the building and to the stage and are highly encouraged to be used frequently.
Any individual who would like to take extra precautions for themselves during their visit and audition will be more than welcome to do so, without judgement.
