 Audition Guideline

At audition we ask you to perform two contrasting pieces about 3 minutes in length, prepared in advance. One should be Shakespeare and the other from a modern playwright (post 1950). You will be asked to take part in a workshop session with members of the present company and other audition candidates.  You will be asked to sight read a piece of text and sing an unaccompanied song of your own choosing.  A simple folk song or nursery rhyme will do very well.

Please note our audition days usually last until late afternoon.
