For Artists
At PTE, our goal is to be a home for artists. This happens in one of four ways: working on projects here at the theatre; engaging in residencies; training through our professional development programs; and engaging with our artistic leadership and staff. It is our philosophy that in addition to employing artists, we can also have an open door (or email/phone) policy as a resource to artists. Ann Hodges (our AD) is open to receiving emails at any time and will respond as soon as we are able.
FOR ACTORS - AUDITIONS
We audition on a show by show basis. We also see actors through general auditions. Please check this website, our social media, along with the CAEA e-drive for audition calls.
Prairie Theatre Exchange is committed to inclusive casting. We encourage submissions from professional artists who self-identify as members of under-represented communities.

FOR DIRECTORS AND DESIGNERS
If you would like to begin a conversation or introduce yourself to the theatre, please email Ann.
FOR PLAYWRIGHTS AND CREATORS
With our two playwrights units and commission in progress, we are unable to accept unsolicited scripts. That said, please feel free to contact Ann if you have a work you feel might be a good fit for our programming. For local playwrights and creators, we would love to be aware of your work and to attend any productions of your work that are happening here in Winnipeg. Please email Ann to let us know what you have cooking.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PTE's Training Hub offers an annual multi-week block of free professional development workshops, classes and talks.
