The Canadian College of Performing Arts (CCPA) holds nation-wide auditions to find Canada’s brightest young stars for the September season.
Auditions in 11 cities across Canada will select students hoping to join the growing list of successful graduates who can be seen on stage, screen and in recording studios around the world.
The Kelowna auditions will be held Feb. 15 at 2:30 p.m. at the Canadian School of Ballet.
At the college, students receive broad professional training which allows the opportunity to pursue diverse careers in the performing arts ranging from international singing, dancing and acting careers to Broadway casting directors and television producers.
“The quality of our students is astounding,” said artistic director Darold Roles.
“Each one arrives with incredible talent and potential and upon graduation, they are ready to take on any role; be it on stage or off.”
The tour will start in Nanaimo Feb. 7, followed by stops in Vancouver, Kelowna, Edmonton, Toronto, Halifax, Montreal, Winnipeg, and Regina. The audition tour will end with a stop in Whitehorse March 23.
Video auditions are also accepted until May 1.
The college is operated by the Canadian Heritage Arts Society, a registered charity.
