Every year, the George Brown Theatre School receives
more than 700 applications for 32 coveted spots in our
first-year class. Applicants come from across
Canada, many with university
degrees already in hand. The reason students come to
the George Brown Theatre School is simple;
we
offer the best conservatory training available,
providing the finest training and skills required by
a working actor.
"If these students (George Brown Theatre
School) are any indication of what Toronto audiences
can look forward to, the future of the city's theatre
scene is very bright indeed." -- RACHEL GIESE
(EYE MAGAZINE)
"The company (George Brown Theatre School)
creates a world of youthful high spirits, flirtation,
and heart-felt truths that compares favorably with
the best I've seen". -- Jon Kaplan, NOW Magazine
"The students we auditioned showed a sensitivity
to text that is, honestly, refreshing. We found each
of them to be thoroughly professional in their approach
to their work and open, relaxed, friendly and focused
during the interviews. They gave what, on reflection,
we recognized as very cultured, crafted performances.
Frankly, we were 'bowled over' by their
self-evident dedication and accomplishment." --
Dave Armour, Gairbraid Theatre Project
The proof of that assertion is that
George Brown Theatre School graduates work.
They are found on theatre stages and film and television
sets across North America. Look in
the playbills at the Stratford and
Shaw Festivals, Soulpepper
Theatre Company, Canadian
Stage Company, Mirvish
Productions, Tarragon
Theatre,
Theatre Passe Muraille or
any of Canada's leading regional theatres and you will
find our graduates listed.
In September 2005 we moved to the Young
Centre for the Performing Arts complex
which offers a host of benefits to our students.
We already boast the finest faculty in the country
and our advisory committee reads like a Who's Who
of the performing arts industry. Thanks to the Theatre
School's many supporters, we will now have a world-class
facility to match.
With over 30 years of training actors, our mandate remains constant:
to attract and train the finest young talent for their future careers
as outstanding professional actors. The Young Centre allows us to showcase
these emerging artists and further expand our curriculum.
There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of
the George Brown Theatre School. We are taking centre
stage like never before!
