Aspiring Actors Wanted

Our member organisation Arts and Disability Ireland have shared this opportunity for aspirins actors. 

The award-winning Blue Teapot Theatre Company is looking to expand their talent pool by inviting aspiring actors aged 18 and over with an intellectual disability to audition for a permanent place within the resident company of artists.

Based in Galway City, Blue Teapot will be holding open auditions for a small number of places, casting the net wide in search of brilliant talent.

Previous acting experience is not necessary; many actors come to their careers as diamonds in the rough looking for an opportunity to shine. The successful candidates will join a vibrant, experienced cohort of actors to develop and perform theatre on Ireland’s main stages and beyond. This positive development is part of an overall expansion, aligned to the company’s Strategic Arts Plan (2023 to 2027).

Interested candidates should go to Blue Teapot’s website for detailed information

Auditions will be held in Galway in late November and early December 2023. 

Deadline for applications is 12.00pm on Monday 13 November.
