If you’re 18 -25 and feel ready to launch yourself into the world of professional theatre, then we want to hear from you.

Following rigorous auditions and workshops successful applicants will have just 24 hours to prove their talent for creating engaging, edgy theatre. The results will be seen by 1,000 industry professionals, family and friends.

This riveting event has been wowing audiences for the last four years and has launched over 210 careers with many of them securing agents, West End contracts, TV roles and commissions.

Before applying you must be available on the following dates:

  • 1) Can Americans participate if they provide their own travel and accommodations?
    2) Do Directors have to be present for Audition Weekend? Bonding Day? That's true for all disciplines?

  • Hi Shaka, in your last post you said that it is for ‘anyone 18-25’ but the application form (in the 4 fields, I checked) says: ‘You must be aged 18-26 on 25 July 2010’. So, I followed that instruction and I am almost ready to send the application form (because I am 26), but I would really appreciate if you could clarify what is the right information. It would be a pity to be out because the application form says that I should be in.
    Thanks!

  • Hi there,
    I’m interested in the directing and writing elements of this scheme, but I have not written or directed anything for theatre. I have only done two short films, is that ok?
