Acting

There are an incredible number of opportunities to act in Cambridge.

With more than 40 shows every term, there is something for everyone. Most auditions happen either at the ADC Theatre, the Corpus Playroom, at a college room, or via video call. Often directors offer the ability to submit self-tape auditions too. There is always an email address to contact if you don’t know the way! For most auditions, directors will post extracts alongside the audition listing on Camdram and/or Facebook, giving you an opportunity to look at them in advance. There is generally no pressure to learn an extract and Directors look for strong performers rather than those who can learn lines quickly! For musical auditions, you should prepare a song and bring along some sheet music if you have it.

If you are interested in acting in Cambridge or just want a friendly face to talk to, speak to the CUADC Actors’ Reps, Scarlett and Enya, by emailing them at actor@cuadc.org.
