Typical Roles
Typical Roles We May Audition For
Every production is different, but future audition listings may include principal roles, supporting parts, ensemble opportunities and off-stage production roles.
PRINCIPAL ROLES
Lead characters with larger performance responsibilities and a strong presence within the production.
ENSEMBLE
Important group roles that help bring energy, atmosphere and movement to the show where required.
SUPPORTING ROLES
Character parts that help drive the story and often add humour, contrast, pace or dramatic impact.
BACKSTAGE SUPPORT
Not every production role is on stage. We are also grateful for help with the practical side of putting on a show.
Audition FAQ
If you are thinking about auditioning for a future production with The Charity Players, these answers should help explain how the process usually works and what you can expect.
Do I need experience?
Not necessarily. Some productions may suit experienced performers, while others may be open to people who are new to amateur theatre. We are always happy to welcome new members who are interested in getting involved.
Do you only need actors?
No. Alongside cast members we often need people to help backstage with costumes, props, set build, lighting, sound, hair and make-up, front of house and general production support.
Will every production have auditions?
Not always in the same way. Some productions may involve formal auditions for specific roles, while others may be cast more informally depending on the type of show and the roles required.
How do I hear about the next audition?
Keep checking this page for announcements about upcoming productions and auditions.
