Magical opportunity with young stars with Druid theatre company

Budding actors in Clare will have the opportunity to audition with iconic theatre company Druid later this month.
This summer marks a busy period for Druid, with two productions on tour in Ireland and the UK. Penelope by Enda Walsh opens at Galway Arts Festival this summer and will tour Cork and Dublin, while The Silver Tassie by Seán O’Casey opens in Galway in August and will then tour Ennis, Dublin, Cork, Portlaoise and Tralee before it transfers to the UK.
Druid is inviting five young people (male and female) to join 14 professional actors on stage for its production of The Silver Tassie at Glór in Ennis and also for two of the performances during the Galway run at the Town Hall Theatre.
The Silver Tassie is one of Seán O’Casey’s great plays and for this production Druid is putting together one of their biggest company of actors.
Open auditions will be held in Glór on Saturday, July 17 at 1pm. Those wishing to attend are invited to simply turn up. Registration will take place on the day and those attending will be given the lyrics of a song to sing and will be accompanied on keyboard by Elliot Davis, composer and musical director on the show.
Participants must be aged 16 or 17 during the months of August and September and must show proof of age on the day.
They must also be available on all rehearsal and performance dates. Rehearsals take place at Glór on Friday, August 27 to Wednesday, September 1.
The lucky starlets will perform on Wednesday, September 1 and Thursday, September 2 at the Town Hall Theatre in Galway and from September 9-11 at Glór. The show runs nightly at 8pm in both venues.
