How Joining Works

If you are interested in joining The Charity Players, simply email us and tell us a little about yourself, for example, whether you have done any acting before or which areas of theatre interest you.

We will then invite you along to a rehearsal evening so you can meet the group, see how we work and decide if it feels like the right fit.

For specific productions, we may hold casting auditions when selecting roles, but becoming a member of the group itself is informal and straightforward.

As we rehearse for live performances and raise money for charity, we do ask that anyone joining us is genuinely interested and able to commit to rehearsals during production periods.
