House Teams Auditions

About The Improv Centre’s House Teams Program

The Improv Centre’s House Teams Program is a 6-month mentorship program consisting of both training and performance.

The goal of the program is to build upon the improvisational skills of developing players in the community who we see as potential future Mainstage Ensemble Members, and to create an accessible, professional, concentrated training program that focuses on the story-based short and mid-form style of our company.

House Teams are created by the TIC Artistic Team and consist of 6-8 performers who work together for the duration of their 6-month program. This enables the team to have consistency in their lesson plans, note sessions, and format-work. During this time, the team is welcome to perform together or with other improvisers at other venues. Interested performers must audition to take part in the House Team program.

House Teams are assigned a Mainstage Coach who is responsible for the training and performance formatting of their House Team. A fee of $50/month per performer is required to pay for coaching/facility. The fee will be collected monthly. 

If these fees hinder your ability to participate, please include this in your application and we will determine how to make the program accessible.

TIC welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic class, educational level, colour, immigration status, sex, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
