ADULT CAST

PRODUCTIONS

Quality COMMUNITY THEATRE IN YORK REGION

In addition to working with children in the community, Marquee also offers community theatre style performance opportunities for all ages depending on the selected productions within a season. Our productions deliver high quality, family friendly entertainment, enriching the lives of those on stage, as well as those in the audience. 

We produce two adult cast productions within a subscription series with performances at the New Roads Performing Arts Centre (Formerly known as The Newmarket theatre) in November & April.

As part of Marquee’s commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion, we make intentional choices to ensure we are a welcoming space for people of all ethnicities, economic status, sexual orientation, and gender identity. We encourage submissions from artists of all backgrounds, lived experiences, and gender identities. All roles are non-equity, non paying.

WHAT COMMITMENT IS REQUIRED?

The people organizing this production are creatures of commitment, and they require yours.

The question is, are you ready to give it? It can seem exciting to get involved with a production, but when the days and weeks of effort pile up, you may sometimes wonder where your initial excitement came from.

Participation in any production is a serious commitment.

If you have other obligations in your life – a job, sports teams, special family needs – you must be 100% certain that those legitimate concerns leave you with enough time and energy to be involved in a show. 

There is no disgrace in giving those things priority and leaving this production to other people. The only shame would be if you agreed to take part in a show, only to then miss rehearsals and drop out along the way. That would weaken the efforts of the whole team. So know your own limits, and only say “yes” to this project if you really mean it.

Can you have fun working on a musical? Heck yes! You will probably have a blast doing it. But it’s not going to be the kind of fun you have lazing around under a tree on a hot afternoon. It is going to be more like the feeling of scoring a top grade after studying like crazy, or winning a competition you’ve spent months preparing for.

UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS

The Little Mermaid

Nov. 21-30, 2025
NewRoad Performing Arts Centre – Newmarket

ABOUT THE SHOW

Broadway heavy hitters, Alan Menken (Disney’s Beauty and the Beast, Disney’s The Little Mermaid, Little Shop of Horrors) and Lynn Ahrens (Ragtime, Seussical, Once on This Island), breathe fantastic new life into the classic tale of A Christmas Carol.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a prosperous curmudgeon who believes that personal wealth is far more valuable than the happiness and comfort of others. With an infuriated “Bah! Humbug!” Scrooge summates his feelings of Christmas tidings and charitable giving, but he’s forced to face his selfish ways when three ghosts on Christmas Eve lead him through his Past, Present and Future. Thanks to their guidance, Scrooge recognizes his faults and greets Christmas morning with a cheerful “Happy Christmas” before spending the day reconnecting and sharing love with those that mean the most to him.

A Christmas Carol is a spectacular adaptation of Charles Dickens’ most well-known story that teaches us all that it is much better to give than to receive.

Legally Blonde The Musical

April 17-26, 2026
NewRoad Performing Arts Centre – Newmarket

ABOUT THE SHOW

What’s the buzz? The first musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to be produced for the professional stage, Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. A timeless work, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire.

The iconic 1970s rock score contains such well-known numbers as “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him” and “Gethsemane.” A true global phenomenon that continues to touch new generations of audiences and performers.

Performance dates at the NewRoads Performing Arts Centre – Newmarket
