Auditions

CHADS THEATRE COMPANY – AUDITIONS – 2026 to 2027 Season

Chads Plays Selection and Casting Committee (PSCC) are pleased to welcome everyone to the auditions for next season’s plays which will all be held in April at Chads Theatre, Mellor Road, Cheadle Hulme SK8 5AU, as detailed below.

Information about the plays, roles and audition pieces will be provided.  Please arrive early so that you can study the audition pieces and so that we can make a prompt start. 

We will have a lot to get through and please be aware that you may have to wait to be seen.  We try to see people in order of arrival, allowing for certain groupings of auditionees for each play.

Some audition pieces are quite long so don’t be alarmed if you are asked to stop before the end or if you are asked to perform only a section of the piece.  This is likely to happen and does not affect your chances of being cast!

If you wish to audition for a role but are unable to make the dates, please send an email with the details to: artco@chads.co.uk

Rehearsals generally last 6 weeks but this can be longer, for example Noises Off will be 10 weeks. Rehearsals take place on Mondays, Thursdays and either Tuesdays or Wednesdays.  Also Sunday afternoons closer to the run of the play.  Each director will organise their own rehearsal schedule.

Please make sure that you are free for the rehearsal period and the play dates before you audition.  Also please note any director instructions in the audition information and only audition if you can meet the requirements.

The auditions are open to everyone, members and non-members.  If you accept a role in a play you will need to join Chads as a member, or already be a member, and you will need to pay the subscriptions.

Please note: there has been a change to the 2026/27 season as originally announced. The Dumb Waiter and The Lover by Harold Pinter will not be performed and the final studio play, Bull by Mike Bartlett will be performed 23-27 February 2027, instead of in April 2027.

We look forward to seeing you!
