About the Amp:
The Badlands Amphitheatre is a non-profit arts and culture venue located in the Canadian Badlands. Home to Canada’s largest outdoor stage, our 2,500-seat outdoor amphitheatre and indoor Badlands Arts Centre hosts the renowned Badlands Passion Play; the Canadian Icons Concert Series; Roots, Blues, & Barbecue; Lightfest: Winter in the Badlands; outdoor opera and much more.
With our spectacular natural setting, unique in the world, we create sustainable community through performance events (with economic, cultural, social, and environmental outcomes), increase awareness and skill in the arts, and encourage tourism by creating significant cultural attractions. The Badlands Amphitheatre has a mandate to produce, create, and host events; enable arts education, and promote tourism - all based on our values of community, creation and celebration.
About the Passion Play:
The Canadian Badlands Passion Play tells an epic story of faith, hope & love based on the life of Christ. It is performed on Canada’s largest outdoor stage, with a company formed of professional and semi-professional actors (supplemented by volunteer actors), working with a professional crew.
Other Important Information for Potential Cast Members:
-We are an outdoor venue that rehearses and performs outside in all sorts of weather conditions, and on all kinds of terrain.
-Potential cast members need to be comfortable using our large stage both physically and vocally as we use the acoustics of the natural amphitheater rather than microphones during performances.
-Singing will be required for most of the cast.
-Show calls are earlier and longer than indoor venues, as all business like fight calls and any additional stage prep must be completed before one hour to showtime.
