This year, we're also delighted to welcome two special guests to our audition panel. Kailea Boyne from Henley Players will be joining us to help with casting, alongside actor Joe Mason, whose credits include The Sarah Jane Adventures (BBC), Silent Witness (BBC), Doctors (BBC), Law & Order: UK (ITV), The All or Nothing Experience UK Tour, and Oliver Twist Italy Tour.
Audition material, including any backing tracks where required, will be released over the coming weeks. If you already have a role in mind, feel free to get in touch and we'll let you know what you'll need to prepare once the audition process has been finalised.
Can't make the audition date? No problem! If you or your child would still like to be considered for a role, we'll be happy to provide an audition pack so you can submit a video audition instead. Any videos submitted will only be viewed by those involved in casting and will be permanently deleted once the casting process has been completed.
Whether you're interested in a principal role, ensemble, backstage, or simply want to find out more about Shotley Drama Group, we'd love to hear from you.
We can't wait to bring this magical story to life and hope you'll be part of the adventure!
