Join us for our next Mercury General Auditions

We are excited to announce our next General Audition day for East Based* artists.

This open call is a way of broadening our casting horizons when it comes to the awesome talent living in the region. If you’ve not been seen by us previously and want to get on our radar, this is a great opportunity to meet over a quick chat, a monologue or a song and any other talent you’d like to show us! We are thrilled to have guest panellists from other theatres in the region joining us – so the potential opportunities for you are even greater.

The auditions are not for a specific production, but help us widen our knowledge of artists we might work with in the future on everything from workshops, R&Ds, creative engagement or talent development work and readings, community touring, or through to our theatre productions.

Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see everyone but we will acknowledge your submission, keep it on file and contact you when there is an opportunity to audition.

Date: Friday 9th June 2023
Venue: Dance Studio at Mercury
Panel: Ryan McBryde – Creative Director (Mercury), Tracey Childs – Executive Producer (Mercury), Douglas Rintoul – Chief Executive & Artistic Director (New Wolsey Ipswich), Rory Davies – Artistic/Executive Director (Harlow Playhouse)

If you are interested in being considered for a General Audition on Friday 9th June please send your CV and headshot, or Spotlight link via email only to [email protected].
