The Internship  

Geordie Theatre School  (GTS) provides acting classes and workshops for children and teens.  In this internship, we aim to offer interns a solid introduction to the theatre education we provide at Geordie Theatre School. We see this internship as a learning opportunity for interns, as well as a pathway into our teaching roster (if you find the experience positive and wish to continue). We offer a small honorarium along with the internship in recognition of the assistance you are providing the class. 

Main responsibilities:   

• Assisting with creating a fun and safe environment for kids to explore their imagination  

• Helping to prepare class outlines  

• Engaging in classroom activities  

• Supporting kids one on one as needed  

• Leading exercises (if the intern feels ready to do so!)  

• Occasionally substituting for the teacher (if teacher and intern believe that the intern is ready, safe, and comfortable doing so).  

We are looking for:  

• Emerging theatre artist or person interested in the theatre arts  

• Interest in theatre arts with young people  

• Interest in learning how to create a piece of theatre with young people  

• Those looking to teach with GTS in the future  

Submissions  

Please upload your cover letter and CV in one document when applying. We would love to know what you are looking to gain from a GTS internship, how you can contribute, and if you have any experience teaching or working with children.  

Feel free to get in touch with further questions at gts@geordie.ca!

Geordie Theatre School’s roster of teaching artists  for GTS classes and workshops is currently full for the 2026-27 Season. Interested teaching artists are welcome to still submit their application, however they will only be contacted if a space becomes available. 

What are we looking for in our teaching artists? Our teachers are passionate Montreal theatre artists who work in a variety of performing arts disciplines and are at different stages in their careers, but are united in their love of working with youth. All levels of teaching experience are welcome to apply. 

PLEASE NOTE: If we have a particular need at another point in the year, we may reach out to you directly. 

About Geordie: We are an award-winning professional theatre company that has presented live English-language productions for young audiences in Quebec and abroad since 1980.  Currently led by Cree artist Jimmy Blais, Artistic Director, we are one of the first non-culturally specific theatre companies in Canada with Indigenous leadership. Our current goal is to grow our Indigenous programming and Indigenous relationships within our province and beyond. We offer a variety of cultural activities for youth and the adults in their lives, including performances, acting classes and workshops.

Currently, we reach over 40,000 young people and their communities annually through the following activities:

• 2Play Tour, travelling plays that visit hundreds of elementary and high schools across Eastern Canada.
• Mainstage Series, which presents shows in local Montreal theatres for the public and schools.
• Geordie Theatre School, which offers acting classes and workshops for children, teens, and corporate team members.

We focus on providing educational components in all our programming, about topics that are relevant and important to young people. Study guides are provided to teachers, promoting discussion and activities related to the play’s themes, as well as resources for students who may be going through the same issues as characters in the play. Artists and invited guest speakers provide question and answer periods after each of our performances, promoting engagement and further exploration of the play’s themes.
