performing arts booking agency, specializing in professional touring theatrical productions. TCAE
represents independent touring theatrical companies and artists, as well as select musical artists who
are especially suited for soft seat venues. TCAE’s works closely with a wide variety of arts presenters,
from The Stratford Festival and Mirvish Productions to community presenters and folk festivals. It is the
endeavor of TCAE to create an artist/audience exchange it is recognized that all parties involved are
focused on the same goal – to experience and share the wealth of performing arts talent that this country
to offer. TCAE takes a holistic approach to artist representation, and aims to operate in a manner whereby
presenters are recognized as curators, not simply as ‘buyers’; artists are acknowledged as creators, not
‘properties’; and the agent acts as an arts facilitator – not as a ‘salesperson’.

  • supporting and developing the careers of its roster of artists nationally and internationally
  • obtaining quality performance opportunities for its artists in performing arts centres and at festivals
  • negotiating fees on behalf of its artists that are fair and respectful to all parties
  • managing tours on behalf of its artists, from promoting and booking to post-performance follow-up
  • fostering and sustaining meaningful long-term relationships with presenters and arts creators
  • assisting presenters to develop new audiences and enrich the experiences of current audiences

 

TCAE is committed to providing an artist engagement experience to both artists and presenters that is
professional, friendly and rewarding for all parties.
