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.
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
Beautiful mermaid Ariel should be a happy girl — she lives in an enchanted undersea country, her father is a King, and she has the most beautiful singing voice. But she is a passionate, headstrong teenager, and wants what she cannot have — to live on land. When she falls in love with a handsome human prince, Ariel is more determined than ever to gain a pair of legs. But her only option is to defy her furious father, and bargain with Ursula the Sea Witch, giving her voice as the price of entry onto dry land. With the help of Flounder the fish, Scuttle the seagull, and officious court composer Sebastian the crab, Ariel must wordlessly gain Prince Eric’s love within three days — or lose her soul to the ambitious witch!

Action-packed and exploding with memorable songs and dynamic dances – this musical is so much fun, it should be illegal!

Determined to get him back, Elle ingeniously charms her way into the prestigious law school. While there, she struggles with peers, professors and her ex. With the support of some new friends, though, Elle quickly realizes her potential and sets out to prove herself to the world.

ABOUT THE SHOW
The world-famous Willy Wonka is opening the gates to his mysterious factory…but only to a lucky few. Young Charlie Bucket and four other golden ticket winners will embark on a life-changing journey through Wonka’s world of pure imagination including chocolate waterfalls, nutty squirrels and the great glass elevator, all to be revealed by Wonka’s army of curious Oompa-Loompas.
Based on the famous novel by Roald Dahl, this musical features memorable songs from the well-known 1971motion picture including “Candy Man,” “I’ve Got a Golden Ticket,” “Oompa Loompa Song,” and “Pure Imagination.” This show presents ageless themes of hope, friendship, and the consequences of greed but overall that having a loving family is the best golden ticket of all.
