The Coached Ensembles program is an exciting opportunity to be cast in a four-week (ish) show run. Shows consist of 15-minute improv sets performed by the Ensembles. Each run is also accompanied by a faculty team that hosts the shows and concludes each show with their own set. This is a free performance opportunity for students and recent grads with no fee to audition.

HOW IT WORKS

Coached Ensembles auditions will take place once per term. Cast sizes may vary but will typically consist of 8-10 students. Ensembles will rehearse for two weeks on Friday nights right before their first two shows. Selected performers can expect a 4–8-week commitment in total. They are expected to attend to all the rehearsals and shows.

HOW TO AUDITION

You need to be an active student of the Toronto Training Centre (Improv 4 or higher) to audition. Auditions will be scheduled in 30-minute time slots, and registration is available here.

Auditions will consist of short improv scenes; you do not need to prepare anything. After registering to audition, you will receive a follow-up email leading up to the audition requesting your headshot and resume as well as your availability for rehearsals and performances.
