Casting call: two actors for family show touring Herts libraries

Teasel Productions are looking for 2 actors for Book Sleuths in a Bind: A Very Puzzling Case, a brand-new, family theatre show touring Hertfordshire Libraries this autumn.
Our two Book Sleuths are on the case of a mysterious disappearance. As each clue arises, the audience will be asked to help out – to crack codes, solve puzzles and unravel riddles. We’re looking for lively, energetic, engaging actors, who can handle audience interaction. The show is aimed at families with children aged 7 to 11.
We are ideally looking for actors (male or female or non-binary, of any age) who:
• Graduated from training in 2019, 2020 or 2021
• Live in Hertfordshire, or were born here or have a strong link to the county
• Have an interest in family theatre and taking work into library spaces
• Are willing and eager to contribute to the creative process for this new piece of theatre
If the first two points don’t apply to you but the job really appeals, and you can tell us why, please still get in touch.
To apply: Please send your CV or Spotlight link to nicola@uptheroadtheatre.co.uk by 10am on Monday 23rd August. A brief expression of interest would also be beneficial – tell us why you are interested in this project.
Auditions: Monday 6th & Tuesday 7th September in Welwyn Garden City.
Rehearsal dates: Monday 11th to Wednesday 20th October (Sunday off) in Letchworth
Performance dates: Saturday 23rd to Sunday 31st October, touring across Herts Libraries, multi-show days
Fees and subs or travel allowance are Equity minimum. Digs (if necessary) will be paid for by Teasel Productions.
To reflect the diversity of Hertfordshire, we are keen to engage actors of different backgrounds and identities. The characters have been written with no specific gender. We encourage actors from all ethnicities and all identities to apply.
Book Sleuths is a collaboration with Hertfordshire Libraries and is funded by Arts Council England. Any questions or queries, please email Nicola, nicola@uptheroadtheatre.co.uk.
