Opportunity for 13- 19 year olds in Cardiff

Hey everyone, I have an opportunity for 13- 19 year olds to audition for "Same", a piece of brand new writing which we are presenting first in Wales (March 7th/ 8th) and then at the Salisbury Playhouse (first week of May) as part of the National Theatre Connections programme. We have run a week of in- house auditions (Ascendance Theatre Arts) but have been unable to fill all the parts so we are doing an open casting call this Wednesday (16th) at 6pm in Meeting Room 2, Chapter. Students will be presented with scripts from "Same" and put into groups to spend approximately 20 minutes preparing before showing the piece to the audition panel. Auditionees are advised that if successful this piece will be performed at the National later in the year. If you could please spread the word to anyone who might be interested in this opportunity and drop a message to me on here or at ascendancetheatrearts@gmail.com so I can keep an eye on how many people are attending. Thank you everyone! x

'Same' is set in a nursing home where one of the elderly residents has passed away. In scene 1 we see this from the perspective of her grandchildren who are texting and using social media as they discuss memories and family affairs. In scene 2 the residents of the nursing home discuss the funeral and we see a glimpse of dementia and the generational difference. Scene 3 is set 2 weeks before the Grandmother passes away. It is a lovely sentimental play with alot of nice comedy. Actors are required to play both the teenagers and the elderly residents.
