Teamwork Makes The Dream Work!

We are always looking for people interested in helping out. Aside from the cast of a show, every production company needs backstage crew, front-of-house volunteers, event planners, promotions and marketing support, and more!

If you'd like to be part of the Theatre CBS team contact us today!

Past Offerings

Free Workshop Series!

Do you want to work on a show and learn more about stagecraft? Theatre CBS is offering this unique opportunity to learn all the ins and outs of stage craft - from set design and construction to lighting, sound, props (if you're crafty, you may have a future in props!), costumes and stage management. Our workshop participants will learn in the classroom setting, including opportunities to meet professionals working in the theatre industry, and hands on as the crew for Play On!

Adult Acting Workshop with Gord Billard

Held September, 2025

Explore foundational acting skills - physical awareness, vocal expression, emotional connection, collaboration, and character development - culminating in short scene or monologue presentations that apply the techniques you've learned.

Physical movement and vocal participation is required as are an open mind and a willingness to work together with other participants to present a short scene on a small stage to be viewed by the other participants.

Youth Acting Workshop

Designed for young, aspiring actors with some or no experience performing on stage, this 2.5 hour workshop was held June 14, 2025, for youth aged 10-13.

Join Susan Bonnell, director of the award-winning production Duckish (2025 Best Play, Provincial Drama Festival) for theatre games, voice and performance exercises, improvisation, and an introduction to character-building and storytelling. Susan has directed and written multiple children's shows, including Theatre CBS's recent production of A Christmas Story. She is also an experienced actor, having performed in numerous productions with Theatre CBS, St. John's Players, School Zone Productions and others, and was the winner of the Best Actress Award at the 2023 Drama Festival (Annie, Calendar Girls).

So, You Think You Can Act?
