Jean Murray-Moray Sinclair apprenticeships are a chance for emerging artists and craftspeople to gain exposure to professional theatre work at the Manitoba Theatre Centre in Winnipeg. An apprenticeship is a paid job audit experience. Most applicants are recent graduates of post-secondary theatre training but applications will be equally considered from those with other theatre experience who are looking to expand their knowledge, or a background in artistic disciplines outside of theatre who wish to learn more and pursue a theatre career.
Deadline: April 5. Interviews: April 20-May 5. Find more details and application form at RoyalMTC.ca/Emerging.
Who can apply?
To apply, you must be:
– A Canadian citizen or landed immigrant
– A resident of Manitoba, or former resident of Manitoba for a significant period of your life
– Pursuing a career in theatre
– Have good, part-time availability for the 3.5 weeks of rehearsal/build period, and possibly some pre-production participation. We know that the more time one is able to spend in the theatre, the more valuable the opportunity, but we also recognize the financial implications of that commitment.
How to apply:
Applications must be sent by email only no later than April 5, 2026. Your application should include the completed form, a letter of reference, a resume or CV, a written statement (see the application for specifics) and portfolio/supporting material for some disciplines.
If you have any questions or face barriers in the application process, please contact Ksenia Broda-Milian, Education and Enrichment Manager at kbrodamilian[at]royalmtc[dot]ca.
