We’re looking forward to a great 2024 edition of our Summer Theatre Festival! Preparations are underway and a sneak peek of our lineup appears in the program for Bard in the Barracks’ productions currently running, with more details coming soon!

If you are interested in DIRECTING a production for us, please see below.
If you are interested in ACTING in the festival, please keep watching this space. General auditions for festival productions will be announced here within the next week, with dates/times between July 6-10 to be determined.

The NotaBle Acts Theatre Company is seeking directors for plays to be staged in our 2024 Summer Theatre Festival, which will run from July 25-August 3. Rehearsals will take place in Fredericton over the month of July; hence directors will need to be based here or willing to commute. Plays to be staged will fall under the following categories:

1. Taking It to the Streets (Ten-minute plays – Moderate rehearsal commitment)
2. Readings (Public readings of a play – Relatively small rehearsal commitment)
3. Street Scenes (Site-specific plays – Moderate Rehearsal commitment)
4. Acting Out (One-act plays – Large Rehearsal commitment)

All directors will receive small honorariums for their work, with pay scale increasing with greater rehearsal time required per category of play.
A call for general auditions for actors for festival productions (dates/times TBD between July 6-10) will follow within the next week.

If you are interested in directing a play with us, please email a short application letter to NotaBle Acts Artistic Director Len Falkenstein at lfalken@unb.ca answering the following questions. The deadline for applications is 12 PM (noon) on Wednesday, July 3. Please address any questions you may have to the same email address.

1. Name and pronouns
2. Previous directing experience (plays directed; classes/workshops in theatre/directing taken)
3. Tell us a bit about yourself and the type of stories you are interested in? If you want, this could also include talking about the style or approach you might bring to directing.
4. NotaBle Acts aims to reflect the diversity of New Brunswickers on stage and particularly welcomes auditions and applications from artists who identify as Black, Indigenous, persons of colour, 2SLGBTQIA+, and members of other marginalized communities. If you identify as a member of any of these groups you are welcome to note so here.
5. Which category of plays are you interested in directing? You may note more than one.
6. Please provide a detailed schedule of your availability for July and during the festival (July 25-August 3).

Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!
