Please select the appropriate monologue for your age group and familiarise yourself with it. Extra merit will be given to those auditionees who memorise their text although it is not essential. Please be prepared to stay for the full 45 minute-workshop session and to participate in various workshop exercises as well as performing your section of text. Please wear comfortable loose fitting clothing and dance shoes or bare feet.

A few more notes that may help

1. Everyone is welcome to apply for a place in our Youth Theatre Workshop and you need not have ANY previous acting or performance experience. The auditions follow a workshop format so you do not need to prepare anything for the day, just turn up and join in!

2. At the audition we will be thinking about the following things, so read through them carefully and think about how you can show us that you can contribute the skills we need.

3. We need young people who are imaginative, hard-working and able to commit to a project.

4. We need people that are able to work with others because we think this is just as important as an ability to perform.

5. We need creative people with plenty of imagination, as each company member will be encouraged to contribute to the creative process.
