QDF is so excited to be introducing the Indie Day stream of QETS! 

This is an opportunity for Indie member companies of QDF to see 30 non-CAEA actors at the Segal Centre for Performing Arts. 

Indie companies who participate will also have the opportunity to receive the General Book after Indie Day. The General Book contains all the submissions we received for the 24/25 Quebec English Theatre Showcase: 

  • CAEA actors 

  • Discovery Series Non-CAEA actors  

  • Indie Day Non-CAEA actors 

  • All other Non-CAEA actor submissions

  • Designers

    1. Fill Out the Application Form (Opening on November 11, 2024)
      Complete the form below and click "Submit."

    2. Application Review
      QDF will review your submission and curate our Indie Day panel.

    3. Panel Invitation
      Selected companies may have up to two representatives on the Indie Day panel. You will also receive the virtual "Indie Day Book," which includes headshots, CVs, and links to the membership directory for all 30 participants.

    4. Indie Day Format
      On the day of the event, 30 non-CAEA actors (not selected for the Discovery Series) will each perform:

      • A 2 minute max monologue

      • A 2 minute max contrasting artistic piece (e.g., monologue, song, movement, clown, etc.).

      • An accompanist will be available for musical performances.

    5. Follow-Up
      After the event, you’ll receive the General Book with all participant information. From there, you can reach out to actors for auditions or castings, or contact designers for further interviews or potential hires.

    • 1 - Compensation Information
      Provide details on how you compensate:

      • Performers

      • Technical/Production/Design Crew

      • Core Roles/Creative Team

    • 2 - Policies & Agreements
      Upload a .docx, .pdf, .jpeg, or .png file of your anti-harassment policy, room agreement, or values statement (if you have one).

  • Important: Some of this information will be shared with participants in a summarized format. For example:

    "--------" Company

    • Compensation: Yes, profit share

    • Contract Type: EQUITY profit share

    • Anti-Harassment Policy/Room Agreement/Values Statement: Yes, room agreement

    We believe that providing this level of transparency helps companies and artists enter into potential collaboration with more of an understanding of expectation, giving more room for creativity!
