Shadwell Showcase Auditions now open

Audition for the Shadwell Showcase now!!! We have five brilliant scripts looking for actors to bring the dialogue to life for the Shadwell Society's first ever showcase of new writing! With 20 roles open there is quite literally something for everyone!

The Shadwell Showcase of New Writing will take place on the evening of Friday 19th June. As short plays/extracts this is a great way to act in a May Week show in a busy exam term - we will endeavour to work rehearsals around your schedule!

Five new shows are in need of a cast:

• Starcrossed by Ellie Dudley
• Cuts Both Ways by Dalton Scott
• Vigil by Anna Takács
• Funerals for Minotaurs by Breanna Asante
• Shall We Murder Stephen? by Heidi Homewood

Self-tape auditions will be accepted until 5pm Monday 6th April. Please contact Poppy on society.shadwell@cai.cam.ac.uk for extension requests, queries, and any issues!
