North Toronto Players

The NTP is a community theatre group, with membership in the chorus open to everyone with an interest in musical theatre (no young children, though). Chorus members must be able to memorize and perform music and simple choreography, and are expected to attend all rehearsals - one evening a week beginning in September, and full-day Saturday rehearsals beginning in January. We rely to a great extent on our cast to volunteer in areas such as set construction and marketing. No experience is necessary, but participation is greatly appreciated. Practices take place in Toronto.

Auditions for Lead Roles
Auditions are held for lead roles only, and take place in Toronto in late September and early October. Phone or email us for an appointment and for more information.

Behind-the-Scenes
As well as onstage, volunteers are needed for set construction, makeup, costume production, marketing, as well as other exciting challenges. Email us for more information.

ABOUT NORTH TORONTO PLAYERS

Since 1966, the theatrical and musical productions of the North Toronto Players have appealed to audiences of all ages. By focusing primarily on the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, we have endeavored to bring their timeless satire and glorious music

to a wider audience and for a very reasonable price. We are a non-profit, charitable organization with membership open to all in the community who share an interest in vocal music and musical theatre.

All members of the cast are required to be members of North Toronto Players. The Annual fee is $50.00.
