Auditions
Open Auditions
Progress auditions are open to members, all ex-members, and non-members residing within 10 miles of Progress.
If you are cast for a show, you will need to become a member, this is for legal and safety reasons.
Inclusion
Progress Theatre is committed to the principles of inclusion, and roles are open to all, including any age, gender identity, disability or ethnicity. Although some characters may be historical figures, auditionees of different ethnicities, disabilities and gender identities are encouraged to audition. We are committed to improving our access to all and would love to welcome you to the Progress community. Please get in touch at [email protected], to let us know if you have any access/inclusion requirements or concerns including (but not exclusive to): disability, gender, race, sexuality, gender identity, age, or financial aid.
Auditions for Lovesong
Lovesong is the story of one couple, told from two different points in their lives - as young lovers full of plans, and worldly companions looking back on their relationship.
Their past and present selves collide in the haunting and beautiful tale of togetherness.
All relationships have their ups and downs; the optimism of youth becomes the wisdom of experience.
Love is a leap of faith.
AUDITION DETAILS:
- Wednesday 30th October 7:30pm at Progress Theatre, The Mount, Reading RG1 5HL
- Saturday 2nd November 2:30pm at Progress Theatre, The Mount, Reading RG1 5HL
You only need to attend one of the audition dates and there is no need to prepare anything in advance. If you have any questions, or would like to be considered but can't make the audition dates, or if you need to see audition pieces in advance, please contact [email protected].
Performance dates are 21st-29th March 2025. Rehearsals will begin very gently in November, stop over Christmas and pick up in earnest in January.
Please complete an audition form here before attending.
CHARACTERS:
Ages are flexible, and will depend very much on the pairings and chemistry across the two couples.
William - late 20s-early 40s
Margaret - late 20s - early 40s
Billy - 60s-80s
Maggie - 60s-80s
This is a brilliant opportunity to do some in depth character work, working in tandem with another actor to create younger and older versions of the same couple.
