Young Actors Needed for Major Swindon Arts Centre Production

Come and be a part of this massive new production open to anyone from 7-25 years old! Be an actor, a writer, a designer, whatever you want to be!

Prime Theatre and Swindon Theatres have announced the relaunch of opportunities for young talent with a major new production: “When This Is Over”. This production is a UK-wide project putting young people centre stage and giving local creatives the chance to star in their own show. The production will be premiered at Swindon Arts Centre in 2022 and is open to all young people aged 7 to 25 years without any audition.

Artistic Director of Prime Theatre Mark Powell explained, “As soon as lockdown happened last year, all our youth programmes went online. We’re now thrilled to be creating a specially made physical production. A brand-new script will share the experiences and dreams of the many young actors who are hungry to be back on stage.”

Director of Swindon’s Wyvern Theatre and Arts Centre Laura James added, “When I heard about this national project we just knew we had to bring it Swindon. We’ve really missed having young creatives and their energy in our venues. Here’s a chance for them to rehearse at the Wyvern and to perform at the Arts Centre, double the experience. We can’t wait to see what they come up with.”

“When This Is Over” will be made by a wide range of young creatives, actors, writers, designers, and technicians. Starting November, the cast will be creating material in Prime Theatre’s weekly workshops and shape these together as a larger company in a series of rehearsals. The final production will be at the centre of the Swindon Arts Centre programme in February 2022. Swindon Theatres and Prime Theatre are supported by Arts Council England and Swindon Borough Council to provide free access for many young people.
