Acting Company

Ever wanted to perform in a play? Are you conscious about confidence? Or budding to be brave? Then our Acting Company is the exciting opportunity you’ve been looking for! Our Acting Company is suitable for those that have completed at least one term of Stage & the City’s Acting for Intermediates or Acting for Improvers or with equivalent experience elsewhere. Put your skills into practice by building a character in a contemporary play with a public performance at a London theatre, whilst developing skills and confidence and fitting around your working life.

In the next term, we will begin to rehearse Blithe Spirit written by Noël Coward.

Blithe Spirit is a comic play by Noël Coward, described by the author as “an improbable farce in three acts”. The play concerns the socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who invites the eccentric medium and clairvoyant Madame Arcati to his house to conduct a séance, hoping to gather material for his next book. The scheme backfires when he is haunted by the ghost of his wilful and temperamental first wife, Elvira, after the séance. Elvira makes continual attempts to disrupt Charles’s marriage to his second wife, Ruth, who cannot see or hear the ghost.

This production will be taking place at the Courtyard Theatre on 18th and 19th March 2024.

If you are offered a place in the company and wish to accept it, you will be required to commit to THE FULL PRODUCTION TERM including the show dates. If you withdraw before the show dates full fees for both terms will still be due.

You will be developing the following skills set:

• Comedic timing
• Perform in a naturalistic acting style in a slice-of-life comedy/drama
• Movement work to help play characters unlike your own physicality in a naturalistic way
• Text analysis – to help play the given circumstances
• Ensemble acting work
• Vocal work to help develop character, clarity and projection
