Royal & Derngate are collaborating with the National Youth Theatre for the first time on a brand new production of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, to mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. The theatre is looking for local young people to perform in this Made in Northampton production this summer. Auditions will take place at the theatre on Thursday 18 February.

Young people aged between 18 and 25, living within a 40-mile radius of Royal & Derngate, are eligible to apply for this unique opportunity to be involved in a large-scale production working alongside internationally recognised theatre-makers. The work is voluntary but a small number of bursaries are available to help support travel expenses.

Initial auditions will take place at the theatre on Thursday 18 February, with slots available at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm and 9pm. Auditions will be in the form of a group workshop which will focus on movement and vocal work (including singing) followed by solo auditions. Recalls will take place at the end of March.

Hi all!

Missing you all and your creativity! But watch this space as next year is going to be bigger and better. What I’ll do is keep you posted on Facebook with other local auditions and information to get you ready for the next Theatre Summer School.

It’s great to hear from some of last year’s students of the first ever Theatre Summer School! This year’s summer school didn’t surface because of location problems unfortunately. However, watch this space for next year! Hope to see you then!
