Canada’s Wonderland, 1 Amusement Drive (enter via employee entrance)
We encourage all performers to email cw.entertainment@canadaswonderland.com to register for an assigned time slot to minimize wait times. Walk-in auditions are welcome from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Please bring along your headshot, performance resume, availability dates, and specific employment interests and experience for each position you're interested in. Open call auditions may take an extended period depending on turnout, and you may be required to remain on-site for three hours or more.
In-Person Audition Requirements
Singers: Prepare two contrasting song selections, 16 to 32 bars each, showcasing vocal range and style. Keep in mind, our shows consist of pop and rock content, however you may include up to one musical theatre selection. Please no a cappella, classical, or original compositions. Selections should showcase a warm belt, vocal range, and accurately match the vocal style of each genre.
Dancers: Come prepared for a dance/movement call and be prepared to showcase your best skills/tricks (i.e. turns, jumps, leaps, specialty moves).
Actors: Prepare a 60-90 second, comedic monologue appropriate for a family-park atmosphere and be ready as you may be asked to cold read or improvise!
Can’t make it to an in-person audition? Don’t Worry!
Although we’d love to meet you in person, we're accepting video submissions on an ongoing basis until positions are filled! All videos are to be submitted to cw.entertainment@canadaswonderland.com (via One Drive, Google Drive, Unlisted YouTube video, etc.).
Video Audition Requirements
Your video audition is your time to shine. Tell us about yourself and show your personality and character. At the beginning of the video, let us know your name, where you’re from, and your training and experience, followed by:
Singers: Learn the SINGER version of our dance combination (video below) and submit a video of yourself performing the combination. If you are auditioning as a dancer also, please refer to the additional dancer requirements.
Dancers: Auditionees are asked to learn the full dancer version of combination and submit a video of yourself performing the combination. You may also include a link to a dance reel on your submission displaying your strongest style of dance.
In addition to the combination, show us your best skills! Complete a minimum two counts of eight at the end of the combo showing any turns, jumps, leaps and specialty moves.
Don't miss your chance to be part of the magic at Canada's Wonderland. Whether you're entertaining families with your singing, dancing, acting, or musical skills, there's a place for you in our entertainment department. Get ready to dazzle audiences and create unforgettable memories this season!
