HIRING Producer for Hermaphroditus at Toronto Fringe Festival 2023
Recommended Submission Deadline: March 28, 2023
Dead Name Theatre is looking for a producer for its upcoming production of Rosalind Goodwin’s Hermaphroditus to be presented July 5-16, 2023 at Toronto Fringe Festival 2023.
about the show:
Hermaphroditus is a retelling of the Greek myth of Hermaphroditus. Hermaphroditus walks the world as a trans woman, and decides to take their place on Olympus. However, Olympus- the current powers that be- are introducing anti-trans legislation to tighten their grip on the world as world leaders. Mixing poetry and dialogue- Hermaphroditus looks at the fight of a trans person in today’s trans culture shock. Hermaphroditus explores the relationship trans people have to power and how we can reclaim our power in a world that is outlawing trans people as we speak. You can read more about the show by visiting the HERMAPHRODITUS page on the DNT website.
If you are interested in donating and supporting emerging trans, non-binary and queer theatre in Toronto, please visit the show's GoFundMe page.
who we are interested in:
We are looking for a producer for this world premiere. Marketing experience is highly valuable.

HIRING Stage Manager for a Concert Version of Into the Woods
Recommended Submission Deadline: March 20, 2023
Dead Name Theatre is looking for a stage manager for its upcoming concert production of Stephen Sondheim’s Into the Woods to be presented June 1-11, 2023 at Theatre Passe Muraille’s Backspace.
about the show:
In our first company production, we will present a concert version of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s Into the Woods. We believe this piece about navigating identity, finding self-love, learning and healing from the mistakes of our parents, balancing independence and interdependence (among many others) should be made more accessible to the trans, non-binary and queer community by exploring the themes of the show through these lenses and life experiences. In our concert-style performance, we aim to bring light to the importance of representation while creating a safe space for our community members and artists to create freely. You can read more about our company by visiting the INTO THE WOODS page on the DNT website.
If you are interested in donating and supporting emerging trans, non-binary and queer theatre in Toronto, please visit the show's GoFundMe page.
who we are interested in:
We are looking for a stage manager for our concert production. Familiarity with musicals, music and/or sound production is helpful but not required. We are looking for an organised, patient, flexible and enthusiastic person with a passion for disrupting and dismantling oppressive systems. The stage manager will ideally begin their role during callbacks (mid-March) or May 1st at the latest.
payment:
We are able to offer this member of our team an honorarium of $300.00 + profit share.
In the event that additional funding is received, the stage manager’s rates will be increased at that time. All members of the production team will have full access to the production budget document.
Production team contracts will include a "first right of refusal" in the event that this production is cancelled, postponed and/or produced in a larger capacity at a later date.
when:
venue:
DNT is aware of the recent Toronto Star article that came out regarding a previous employee of Theatre Passe Muraille (TPM). DNT is holding the experiences of survivors while simultaneously standing behind the current TPM leadership. You can find TPM’s Policy on Discrimination, Harassment and Violence here. DNT’s Community Relationships Policy is forthcoming and will be made available by the first day of rehearsals. Anyone with questions can contact us directly at deadnametheatre@gmail.com.
