Casting opportunity

Jack did so well in this, we are offered another casting opportunity. For a male actor only i'm afraid this time.

We are looking for a male actor aged between 16 and 25 to perform in a Bognor-based project starting 9^th December.

Information for performers

Making Theatre Gaining Skills is a production skills training programme involving the creation of a 30 minute theatre production for small children presented in a specially designed mini-theatre. The production is made by a group of people aged 18-30 (the crew) who take on the roles of set builders, technicians, costume makers, sound engineers and lighting designers but do not perform in the show. They are supported by a team of professional tutors who ensure that the process is achieved within the very short space of time (2 weeks) and to a high standard. Once the show is ready for performance it is toured to local primary schools and libraries.

Actors needed

Each production requires three actors and because the script is developed from scratch we look for energetic, confident actors who are quick learners, positive team players, and (ideally) competent singers. The actors will be needed for short rehearsals in Bognor – mostly between 4 and 6pm on weekdays but in the final week of the project the actors will be needed during the day. Please only apply if you can commit to the whole schedule.

Schedule

The company will be based in a production unit in Bognor Railway Station.  The actors’ rehearsal and performance schedule will be as follows:

Tuesday 9 Dec                     4.00 – 6.00pm                     rehearsals at Bognor Railway Station

Thursday 11 Dec                4.00 – 6.00pm                     rehearsals at Bognor Railway Station

Thursday 18 Dec                1.00 – 4.00pm                     Two performances at Goring library
