We believe theatre and actor training are most exciting and powerful when our community’s diverse nature is reflected. We encourage applications from First Nations artists, artists of colour, artists from CALD backgrounds, LGBTQi+ artists, neurodiverse artists, artists with disabilities, and artists of all ages, creeds, and educational and economic backgrounds. 

Everyone who comes to work and play with QSE, regardless of their role, experience or profile, can expect to work in an atmosphere of collaboration, support, compassion and openness.
