Leading Wiltshire performing arts company Revolution Performing Arts, is seeking young people to audition for its upcoming production of the National Theatre’s Connections play Tuesday by playwright Alison Carr taking place next year.
Artistic Director Laura Barnes said:
“This exciting project is open to all secondary school-aged students, from age 11 to 18, offering a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic, inclusive, and creatively led experience.
“The casting workshop will be informal and welcoming, designed to explore creativity, rather than serve as a high-pressure audition. Young people interested in participating are encouraged to attend and experience the fun of theatre-making in a supportive environment.”
The casting workshop will be held at the Revolutionary Tuition Centre, Redhouse Village Centre, Swindon, SN25 2FW on Tuesday 22nd October.
In Tuesday, an ordinary day takes a strange turn when the sky over Lane End School suddenly tears open, pulling students and teachers into a parallel universe while a whole new set of people falls from above.
As the two groups struggle to make sense of the situation, tensions rise. The play explores themes of identity, friendship, loss, and responsibility, all against the backdrop of intriguing multiverse theories.
The production will be directed by Laura Barnes, who is the artistic director at RPA, and a professional theatre director with an impressive portfolio that includes acclaimed projects across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, and London.
Laura said: “We are incredibly excited to bring Tuesday to life with the young people of our community. This play offers a unique and imaginative exploration of identity and connection, themes that resonate deeply with our mission. We can’t wait to see how these talented individuals will interpret and bring their own creativity to this extraordinary story.”
Rehearsals for the production will then take place on Tuesday evenings after the half-term break in late October and the performance takes place on Sunday 16th February, at The Griffin Theatre, Rendcomb College, Cirencester.
To register for the casting workshop please sign up by Sunday October 20 through the website https://revolutionpa.co.uk/ or email office@revolutionpa.co.uk – please note that a project fee of £150 will apply to take part in this production. This will cover room hire for rehearsals and associated costs and can be paid in up to three instalments.
Revolution Performing Arts is based in Swindon and offers classes and performing arts services across the town, in Wiltshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.
