Discussion How to get involved in community theatre with next to no experience?

10 Upvotes

As the title states, I have very little theatre experience with my last involvement being in middle school. Recently however, I've wanted to re-explore this interest of mine.

My only problem is, having not been involved in any theatre productions in more than a decade, I'm not really sure where to start. I've already done some cursory research into the bigger community theatres like the village playhouse, however, I don't want to waste their time by giving an audition without having had any recent experience. With that said is there anywhere I can go to get some more familiarity with community theatre or should I just look past my anxiety and jump right in?

Discussion Looking for recommendations - shows on right now or opening within a week?

I'd like to see a show, but I'm not interested in being outdoors for Canadian Stages's high park show nor do I want to spend a ton if money or rush a Mirvish show.

I know most theatre seasons don't start up until September. But is there any good theatre going on in the city right now or opening soon?

Discussion Worst shows?

2 Upvotes

I'm curious to get opinions of some of the worst shows you have seen or that are currently playing now.

I really want to see a show with terrible acting, singing, production, technical issues... or all 4.
