Auditions

Please contact us at blewburyplayers@gmail.com if you are interested in taking part on or off stage.

Initial auditions in the form of a workshop will be held on the mornings and afternoons of 31st January and February 1st, 2026. We are holding workshop auditions to build an ensemble cast. Do let us know which of these sessions – stating your preference -  you could make and please also let us know if you would like to audition but are unavailable on these dates. Callbacks will be held on the following weekend (5th and 6th February), and casting finalised by Friday 12th February.

Who would we like to come along…

We are looking to audition actors from aged 9 upwards, with no upper age limit.

What to expect at the workshop…

Please wear clothing, that you feel comfortable moving in. There will be 10/12 people in each workshop. The first half of the workshop will consist of a gentle movement warm up followed by group and ensemble exercises. For the second half you will explore characters in the play as a group, using scenes from the play which will be sent to you at least one week before your audition. There is no expectation that you learn these beforehand.
