Big Wheel Theatre Company is looking for new people to present our workshops.

We are interested not only in actors but in anyone who likes the look of what we do. We have employed teachers, lawyers, academics, Butlins redcoats, writers, waiters, musicians, artists, and civil servants, and people who've done nothing at all.

We are casting for a schools tour of Holland and Belgium to run from October to December 2010. Rehearsals will start on 27th September. There will be the opportunity to continue to work for Big Wheel after this contract.

We are also looking for fluent French and Spanish speakers to present our language shows in UK schools throughout 2010-2011.

For the Dutch/Belgian tour we require people who can drive. If you are under 25 you will need to have held a full driving licence for more than 2 years. If you are over 25 you need to have held your licence for more than 1 year. The only exceptions are if you have a disability which prevents you from driving - we'd like to see you then in any case.

We are interested in seeing French and Spanish speakers even if they can't drive as the UK tours are mainly by public transport.

Deadline for applications: 27th August. Interviews 3rd, 4th, 5th September. Recalls 11th or 12th.

To apply please send us:

• a letter about who you are and what you like about Big Wheel. The letter must begin: 'In the Hollywood Blockbuster of my life, I would be played by...'
• a full cv (not just an acting cv) 
• the date you passed your driving test
• how you found out about Big Wheel.

 

Do NOT send us:

• headshots.  It doesn't matter what you look like!

Please email all applications to Mats at info@bigwheel.org.uk
