Auditions

For certain programs, Drayton Entertainment’s Youth Academy offers fun and enjoyable audition learning opportunities for young performers in the Waterloo Region, Wellington County, Huron County and Simcoe County. We feel there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from the audition process: gaining confidence, courage, adaptability, receiving positive criticism and developing skills to process possible rejection inherent in the professional performing world.

Drayton Entertainment is committed to inclusion and diversity and encourages all qualified candidates to apply without regard to disability, ethno-cultural identity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other historically underrepresented and marginalized identities. Drayton Entertainment is committed to providing a barrier free environment that is free of discrimination and harassment.
