Production Call
Making innovative, immersive outdoor theatre with sails covering the audience all nestled next to the ocean – that is what the team at Perchance Theatre do. Just 45 minutes outside the capital city of St. John’s NL, you will find us making our unique, award-winning, brand of theatre magic. Classics are our main focus, with new works and visiting guest performers, rounding out our beloved summer festival. We are looking for people who love making excellent ensemble theatre, and who love the outdoors, to join our team of passionate professionals.
Our theatre hires following the DOT Tier One from CAEA. Our work is created with a focus on the outdoor environment and live creation and as such we have extremely basic lighting, and do mostly live sound/music scapes. Our technical needs focus more on set and props and always creating with an eye to responsible environmental practices. Where possible we reuse and recycle existing theatre elements to minimize our impact.

Considerations for Working at Perchance
Perchance Theatre is an outdoor theatre company, and all of the open positions require working outside in variable conditions.
Perchance Theatre is now located in Conception Harbour, and we rehearse in St. John’s, Newfoundland. We encourage applications from across Newfoundland and Canada but individuals are responsible for their own travel expenses. In addition, all staff are responsible for their own transportation to and from the theatre and rehearsal location.
Perchance Theatre works following Equity standards, as described by the DOT, and all artists we work with are responsible for upholding these standards. All company members are required to understand these policies and uphold them throughout our practice.
