Casting Call for “Aquarion”
the 2026 Spring Circus Production
In April 2025, Brass Butterflies presented their first ever themed, multi-act circus production, “The Clockmaker and the Star”, choreographed and directed by Emily Wright. View video of the production on our YouTube channel, here: The Clockmaker and the Star on YouTube.
Our 2026 show will be called “Aquarion” and will be presented at the Conrad Centre for the Performing Arts (CCPA) in downtown Kitchener, on April 11-12, 2026. This show will include ariel and variety circus acts featuring our students, instructors, Performance Company, and maybe even some special guests.
Apply to be part of the principal cast of “Aquarion”
This production is intended to feature members of the Brass Butterflies community. However, if you are interested in taking part in this production as a guest performer, more information will be released at a later date.
The principal cast will appear on stage throughout the show as directed by the choreographer. This may be as the same character throughout, or in different roles. As a principal cast member you would be guaranteed to feature in at least one number, however you should be prepared to perform in multiple numbers.
Principal cast rehearsals will be held on Sunday afternoons starting in September.
If you would like to take part in Aquarion but would prefer a smaller role with less time commitment, ensemble roles will be cast via 12-week instructed performance troupe classes that will begin in January 2026. Registrations for these troupes will open in late November. There will also be opportunities to get involved as extras or behind the scenes. Casting extras and guest performers will be posted in late autumn and call for backstage volunteers in early 2026.
