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.

ABOUT THE SHOW
Come From Away is a critically acclaimed musical featuring a culturally relevant script accompanied by a deeply moving score by Irene Sankoff and David Hein. The show’s global presence resonates across all audiences as an uplifting reminder of humanity’s ability to come together, no matter what the circumstances.
Come From Away is based on the true story of the time when the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, played host to the world. What started as an average day in a small town turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes, carrying thousands of people from around the globe, were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
Come From Away gives theatres the opportunity to contribute to its worldwide impact by spreading the show’s message of kindness, unity, and resilience with their communities. With a flexible cast size and possibilities for technical creativity, Come From Away is guaranteed to be a show for audiences to remember.
Come From Away is generally considered appropriate for children age 10 and older. While the show lacks overt violence, its focus on the events of 9/11 includes emotional, mature themes regarding grief and fear, making it best suited for children who can understand these topics.

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.

For the first time in forever, experience the musical phenomenon that has taken the world by storm! Based on the Academy Award-winning animated feature film, Disney’s Frozen includes all the film’s beloved songs by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, along with new music written exclusively for the stage.
In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.
Full of magic, humour, and a stunning musical score, Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love.
This show is suitable for the whole family.
