Employment

Artistic:

Theatre Gargantua’s Artistic Internship Program provides an opportunity for emerging artists to expand their skills and experience through observing and participating in our creative cycle.

Theatre Gargantua is seeking two emerging artists who are committed to pursuing a career in the performing arts.  This paid program, funded in partnership with the TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment, is designed to provide an opportunity for emerging artists to expand their skills and experience through observing and participating in Theatre Gargantua’s artistic creation cycle.  Specifically, participants will attend all rehearsal and creative meetings while simultaneously assisting in areas of production (set, lighting, costumes, stage management, and director assistance). Through this program, interns are mentored by our professional artists, helping them develop new skills for their future artistic endeavours.

The program begins this fall and continues through performances of the premiere of our latest cycle of work. The bulk of the internship will occur during the rehearsal and performances slated between September 29– November 23 2025. There will be some pre-production/creative meetings prior the start of rehearsals.

Successful applicants will have a background in theatre and an interest in multi-disciplinary work and/or the collaborative creation process. Applicants should be prepared to make a commitment to the full length of the project, including attendance at all rehearsals and performances and all creative meetings.

Our new Cycle of Work is called Dissonant Species.  

“Every day we must share the planet with people who have fundamentally different beliefs from our own. How do we find harmony in the dissonance? Through Theatre Gargantua’s unique and dynamic blend of storytelling, live music, and physical theatre, Dissonant Species delves into the symphony of human discord that surrounds us.”

Term: September 29th – November 23rd

Rehearsals begin September 29 

(some weekend and evening hours required)

Theatre Gargantua values, desires, and seeks a rich diversity of experiences and cultures, and are committed to an inclusive workplace culture. This includes valuing diversity within our company, providing a safe work environment and fostering a culture of belonging. A diversity of voices/perspectives is critical to helping develop work that is relevant to the communities we serve.  Theatre Gargantua encourages all applications from historically excluded or marginalized groups, including those who identify as Indigenous, Black, People of Colour, Transgender, Nonbinary, Queer, Disabled and intersections of those identities

Applications should include a resume and cover letter detailing their experiences and desire to participate in the program to be submitted by email to jacquie@theatregargantua.ca.  Please include Artistic Intern 2025– your name in the subject line. While we thank everyone for their interest and efforts, only shortlisted candidates for interviews will be contacted.
