Acting Company

*WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR 4 MORE STUDENTS TO CAST IN THIS SHOW! KEEP READING FOR DETAILS OF HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR SELF TAPE AUDITION!*

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 Spiders Web written by Agatha Christie

Clarissa, wife of a diplomat, is adept at spinning tales of adventure, but when a murder takes place in her drawing room she finds live drama much harder to cope with. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she enlists the help of her guests. Hilarity ensues when they are interrupted by the arrival of wry detective Inspector Lord. With this conscious parody of the detective thriller, Christie delivers a unique blend of suspense and humour. There is tension and laughter in equal parts in an intricate plot of murder, police, drug addicts, invisible ink, hidden doorways and secret drawers.

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

• Comedic timing
