We guarantee to audition every person who wishes to audition. If you cannot make it on this date, we are open to audition people during the two weeks before the audition date, at a mutually agreed time/ date.
This is the original text; There will not be nudity or swearing. The script does contain some innuendo. Romeo and Juliet will have some kisses and handholding, this will be overseen with intimacy co-ordination
Roles are available for performers aged 16 - 70. Many roles are open to being played as either male or female. We are most interested in the best performer for the role.
We welcome people of all backgrounds, levels of experience, ethnicities, appearance, accents etc, and are additionally very accustomed to working with neurodivergent creatives in our team, so please don't let any of these things hold you back.

All levels of experience most welcome.
Actors must be based in the Devon area because of the need to attend rehearsals and performances in the South Devon region including Brixham, Stokenham, Exeter, Kingskerswell, Ashburton, and Torquay
As things stand at time of writing all actors will receive an equal share of money made from ticket sales for the performances (inclusive of streaming), as well as location-based character photoshoots, copies of all press featuring you, videos for show/ demo-reels, and references. We are also putting in an Arts Council bid, to "up" the financial payments to Equity rates, and if that is approved then everyone is automatically upgraded.
For those newer to acting; all credits with us (whether profit-share or "proper" rate) count towards Spotlight registrations allowing newer actors to professionally register and then apply for agents and bigger castings. The payments (however much it is) can also count towards your Equity membership application.
Rehearsals for this show take place on Wednesdays 7pm - 9/ 9.30pm, and Sundays 1pm - 4 / 4.30pm at Chestnut Community Centre, 1-3 Poplar Close, Brixham, TQ5 0SA.
