Casting
For our own productions we will always advertise casting calls on this website. If there is a live casting call, details will be beneath this general information.
If you are a theatre actor looking for work in this region, we suggest that you also look at www.theatrebristol.net, a good resource for upcoming auditions.
We discourage actors from sending in unsolicited CVs; we do look at, file and hopefully reply to them but the pile of CVs is enormous and no directors ever look through it, even when invited to do so. Similarly, if you wish to be considered for a production team role, we suggest you send us your details in response to specific calls.

CASTING CALL: The Adventures of Pinocchio
Directed by Andy Burden
Adapted by Toby Farrow
We are looking to recruit a company of five actors:
One small male or female actor to play Pinocchio – must be physically adept
(NB We do not seek to cast a child actor in this role.)
One male actor to play Geppetto and ensemble parts from 40 – 60
Two female actors to play a range of ensemble parts from child to 40
One male actor to play a range of ensemble parts from child to 30
All actors must have a good vocal and physical training. They must be strong singers and experienced in ensemble and multi-character work. Strength with accents and an ability to play an instrument is an advantage.
Please send all submissions to the Theatre Administrator:
Carrie Rhys-Davies
Tobacco Factory Theatre

or email them to theatre[at]tobaccofactory.com.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: Friday 27 August, 5pm
We will look carefully at all submissions. Please note that we anticipate receiving a high volume of CVs and so it will unfortunately not be possible for us to contact everyone who sends us details. Shortlisted actors will be contacted by 10 September.
