🚀 AUDITIONS: X by Alistair McDowall

Five people. One station. No way home.

Stranded on Pluto, five researchers wait for their journey home. But Earth has stopped communicating. Their clocks fail. Their memories blur. And reality starts to unravel…

Funny, unsettling and deeply moving, X is a sci-fi story with a very human heart.

🎭 We’re looking for generous, curious actors who love collaboration, stillness and exploring the unexpected.

Interested? Questions? Want an informal chat before auditioning? DM us.

Audition dates and times:
📆 Sunday 20 September 2-5pm
📆 Tuesday 22 September 8-10pm
📆 Thursday 24 September 8-10pm

Can’t make the audition dates? Get in touch early and we’ll do our best to arrange an alternative.

Reasonable adaptations to access auditions can be offered. DM us to discuss.

Are you ready to go to Pluto? 🪐

🏠✨ A little domestic perfection… under construction.

We do love a big set at the Abbey Theatre — and this one is shaping up to be VERY Judy-approved. 💕🔨

Want to peek behind the perfectly polished façade? 👀

Come and see your first sneak peek at the set for Home, I’m Darling at our Open Day on 5 September! Tickets available for the production opening on 18 September via the link in our bio.

Because every perfect home has a LOT of work going on behind the scenes… 😉

💃🕺 Because apparently acting, learning lines and not bumping into the furniture wasn’t enough…

Our Home, I’m Darling cast have been learning to jive!

🎭 While the theatre has been dark… we’ve been busy getting everything ready for another fantastic season.

August may be quiet for our audiences, but behind the scenes, the Abbey Theatre has been getting a little TLC! 🔨✨

We’ve been making some big improvements to our home, including a new roof and air conditioning for the foyer and Main Auditorium. Shout out to Gurney Construction who’ve been sorting out our roof for us.

And remember, the Abbey Theatre is a charity, run almost entirely by its members. It’s their time, skills and passion that keep this place going and allow us to bring a diverse programme of theatre to the people of St Albans and beyond ❤️

So while you’ve been enjoying the summer… we’ve been getting the theatre ready for you! Why not come along to our Open Day or buy a ticket for our forthcoming Season. Full details on our website via the link in our bio.

Fran has broken the fourth wall… and, as a professional stylist, she’s obviously made a beeline for the costume department. 👗✨

She’s discovered decades of theatrical treasures, questionable fashion choices and enough outfits to keep even the most dedicated stylist busy.

Her professional verdict? There’s only one way to find out if the Abbey Theatre has style… come and see what we’ve got on stage! 💅🎭

🎨✨ Behind every great show is a team making the magic happen…

While our cast are busy learning lines and rehearsing, our incredible Props & Painting team have been working their socks off behind the scenes to bring Home I’m Darling to life! 🛠️🖌️

From creating, painting and perfecting the details of our set and props, it’s the hard work of this brilliant team that helps transport our audiences straight into the world of the show.

So here’s a huge THANK YOU to everyone wielding a paintbrush, a glue gun, building, fixing, sourcing and creating! ❤️

We couldn’t do it without you. And trust us… you’re going to want to see what they’ve been making! 👀
