Quest Internship
Quest’s General Internship opportunity is open to any BFA Drama graduate or equivalent. Spend 15 weeks between January and April 2025 with us! Roll up your sleeves and get to know how a small theatre company operates. Get trained in our School Residency program, support drama camps, be a part of putting together productions for young people and lean into your interests in arts administration or artistic creation. Many of our former Interns still accept weekly contracts with Quest while being active in the Calgary theatre sector. An invaluable hands-on experience for anyone thinking of going into theatre in any capacity.
If you are interested in applying for the Quest Internship, please send a letter of interest articulating why you think you would be a good candidate, and what area of theatre for young audiences, arts administration, or drama education you are interested in learning about. Please attach a resume with related theatre experiences (work, volunteerism, theatre, everything!) to Artistic Director Nikki Loach at artistic-director@questtheatre.org

Artist - Instructors
Quest Theatre uses artist/instructors in our School Residency and Drama Camp programming. The process of becoming an Artist/Instructor with Quest is outlined below:
Meet with the Artistic Director during our General Auditions and Meetings or send an email about your interest to artistic-director@questtheatre.org at any time.
Attending a 75-minute group audition workshop, typically at the end of May
If hired, complete paid training
Team Training, typically in September
Spend 3-days shadowing a program in a school, all throughout the school year.
Typically, artist/instructors working on our School Residency Program are offered summer camp positions before we look to outside artist/instructors.
Quest conducts 6 weeks of Summer Camp starting from the first Monday in July after Canada Day. The hiring process happens in May/June. Camp Instructors are pulled from our roster of Artist/Instructors (see above) but each year we need some Summer Camp Assistants to round out our staff. Supported through Canada Summer Jobs, positions can be filled by anyone between the ages of 18 – 30.
Job Posting Coming May 2024.

Need space?
We are blessed to have a beautiful rehearsal hall at cSPACE. If you are looking to create or develop your own work and need a space, please contact Nikki Loach, our Artistic Director at artistic-director@questtheatre.org and see if our space might be available. A preference is given to independent artists developing theatre for young audiences, but Quest is proud to be a contributing partner to our theatre community and we welcome any independent theatre artist with a need.
Our space is 30’ x 27’. The space typically has 25’ x 25’ of usable space as it stores chairs, tables, shelves, pipe and drape and other useful creation stuff.
