The Discovery Series

The Discovery Series is a live presentation and conversation with directors and casting professionals. 

Each artist will have an 8-minute slot to both audition for professional directors and have an opportunity to chat about your artistic interests. 

The Discovery Series will feature 10 selected artists who would most benefit from increased visibility and exposure. The aim is  to elevate equity-seeking and/or emerging artists by providing a platform to connect with directors who might invest in their professional development moving forward. 

  • THE DISCOVERY COMMITTEE

    The Discovery Committee is made up of a small group of professional community members with diverse experiences and artistic backgrounds, primarily in directing. They are independent artists, unaffiliated with any one company or organization.

    Their role is to identify the artists who would most benefit from the visibility of the Discovery Series platform. The committee seeks dynamic individuals who demonstrate artistic potential and talent, particularly those who may not have yet had the chance to showcase their abilities and personality to a group of professional theatre makers.

Indie Day

QDF is so excited to be bringing back Indie Day as part of QETS!

Indie Day will offer 30 audition slots to actors who are not selected for the Discovery Series, giving them the opportunity to be seen by our indie member companies. 

The format will be the same as the Discovery Series: an audition followed by a brief chat with our indie panel. 

Slots for Indie are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, determined by the submission time of your initial registration form (not your self-tape). 

Once these chats have concluded, all submissions will be made available to all  directors, regardless of whether you were selected for the Discovery Series, Indie Day or neither.

  • Complete the registration form linked below (opening on November 11, 2024) where you will also upload:

    • Your headshot

    • Your acting CV

    After you register, you will be asked to send a self tape of a 2-minute monologue.

    Remember, slots for Indie Day are assigned on a first-come first-served basis so the earlier you submit the form the better!

    • The same 2 minute monologue you submitted as your self tape. 

    • A second 2 minute artistic offering of your choice (This is typically a contrasting monologue but can be a song with accompaniment, movement piece etc.)

    • Must be 18 years or older

    • Must be a resident of Quebec

    • Must have at least 2 acting credits on your CV

    • Students currently enrolled in a recognized theatre program (JAC, Dawson, Concordia, Bishop or NTS)

    • Actors who are not seeking professional work
