Geordie Theatre

Mission/mandate/about the organisation

Geordie Theatre provokes thought, fires up the imagination, and seeks to encourage and challenge our audience. We celebrate the art of theatre and its social and global impact by working with emerging and established artists from various disciplines and cultural backgrounds to create works that are provocative, relevant and enchanting; inspiring dialogue between communities, children and parents as well as teachers and students of all ages. We look to build relationships with and extend our audience through inclusive practices and by visiting far-reaching communities in Quebec and abroad.

Since 1980, Geordie has been producing and presenting plays that are important to young people; stories that are uniquely related to them in a context that reflects the world around them and their personal experiences at home. They are always about fostering the voice of young people and giving them a vessel in which they are represented, listened to, and encouraged while inspiring dialogue with the adults in their lives about what they see and recognize.

Context of the internship

Geordie internships revolve around our three main pillars: Our 2Play Tour, Mainstage and Geordie Theatre School.

We offer diverse opportunities in theatre making (design, production, dramaturgy), theatre pedagogy, communications and marketing, outreach, and curriculum building. There are also opportunities for internships on the administrative side of the organization with projects around data management, development and producing.
