FEBRUARY 2025 CALL FOR STAGE DIRECTORS, MUSIC DIRECTORS & CHOREOGRAPHERS DRURY LANE’S 2026-2027 SEASON Located in Burlington, Ontario, Drury Lane Theatrical Productions Inc. is Burlington's most popular musical theatre destination. Drury Lane Theatre has been presenting exceptional musical theatre productions to patrons from Halton, Hamilton-Wentworth, Niagara, and Peel regions for over 50 years! We are currently seeking Stage Directors, Music Directors, and potentially Choreographers for the 2026-2027 season. These are paid positions. Some Directors wish to also be their own Choreographer. If this is the case, please make note of this on the Application. Directors who require a Choreographer may indicate that they have someone to work with and will indicate the name of this person on the application. Or, if they wish DLTP to select a Choreographer, they must make this request on their application. Although we do require a Stage Director and a Music Director for each show, the need for Choreographers will be determined by the qualifications/needs of selected Directors. Therefore, we cannot guarantee that we will have a need to hire any Choreographers. Applicants may apply for one or multiple roles and productions. Short-listed candidates may be contacted for interviews. All Directors hired to work with Drury Lane will agree to work collaboratively with a Creative Team, including the Artistic Director, Show Producers, Technical Director, Production Manager, and necessary technical and creative positions such as Set and Lighting Designers, Costume Designers, etc. The creative vision of the Directors is essential. We will support you with key personnel who can contribute ideas towards bringing your vision to life.

The book, Postman Delivers! is about the life and loves of an ordinary guy, in a small town, who enters a contest to write a summer play - and wins! This changes everything in his life. Putting on the play takes a large part of the story. About the Author, Reg Gilmore I volunteered at Drury Lane for ten years, 1995 to 2005. I think I worked on about 30 shows painting sets and designing a few as well. That's where I met Louise - wow, 30 years ago. We worked on painting together and produced My Fair Lady in 2002. Louise and I have been writing for many years, and have self published short stories and poetry on Amazon.com. Postman Delivers is my first novel. Thanks for taking an interest. Reg

Drury Lane Benefit Performances for 2025-2026
Announcing our 45th Annual Music Hall Cast
On Monday, September 1, 2025, Drury Lane lost another strong member. Heather passed away after a long 2-year battle of cancer. Heather not only leaves behind a loving mother, husband and family of 6 children with 7 grandchildren, but also her theatrical family. She leaves behind hundreds of friends from Mississauga Players, Theatre Etobicoke, TAPCT (The Absolute Port Credit Troupers), NOMADS and Drury Lane. Heather’s physical and emotional love was shared with hundreds of people over the years and Drury Lane was blessed with this love over the past 8 years. This was shown when she won the award for best production of 2024-25. This was because she brought together a team of individuals who loved being together and made a production where everyone wanted to be there. That love and leadership will be hard to create again. She will not only be missed by her personal family, but also her theatrical family. We have not only lost a great person, but we have lost a valuable friend. She will be a part of all our lives forever. A Celebration of Life will take place on Monday, October 13, 2025, at the Polish Banquet Hall, 2316 Fairview Street, Burlington, On L7R 2E4. Time: 11:00 am until 4:00 pm. Please come and share in this celebration - we look forward to seeing you. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been set up for donations to support Pets and their families – email any donations to HeatherMemorial2025@gmail.com .
