Guide for auditionees

Auditions can be stressful, but we endeavour to make them as relaxed and friendly as possible and we want you to enjoy it. We have a policy of open auditions for all main shows; roles are open to both existing members and newcomers.

Over the years, a tried and tested format has been developed that we believe affords everyone an equal chance of success. Details of our next auditions can be found on our auditions page here together with a map to our auditions and rehearsals venue.

An audition pack is available for each show and will be sent to everyone who contacts a director.

Audition pieces are sent if you book an audition.

Learning audition scenes or speeches is not a requirement. However, learning an audition piece greatly assists in your freedom to move and to interpret; if you have not acted with us before, it is a helpful indication for the director of your ability to learn lines.

Think about the basic staging of audition scenes and placement of other characters.

We aim to provide as much of a ‘level playing field’ as it is possible to do, giving everyone an equal opportunity. Directors will always be happy to advise on any aspect of their auditions.
