Digital Originals Application

The Nursery Theatre will be putting on two more Digital Originals in the first months of 2021. Following the tremendous success of A Culinary Journey, we’re looking for two more directors to rehearse and present a digitally-native improv show during our regular Saturday night streaming presentations. The show can be any format that you can imagine – from an improvised interactive escape room to stories told only through soundscapes and cuddly toys and everything in between those opposite poles of theatrical potentiality.

SHOW 1 will perform on Sat 16th, 30th January and 6th February 2021
SHOW 2 will perform on Sat 20th February and 6th, 13th March 2021

Rehearsals will be negotiated with the successful applicants subject to Zoom room availability. We suggest you meet with your cast for at least 4 rehearsals before performing but we are flexible as to the eventual schedule. We’ll also help you to publicise and run your auditions online. For now, please email chris@thenurserytheatre.com with your name and your idea for the show (keep it to 400 words max). One idea per applicant and let us know which show slots you can do. The successful shows will be picked by a panel of Nursery teachers and staff. Thanks for reading and feel free to point any questions to the above email address too. Good luck!

The Deadline for applications is noon GMT on December 13th and we’ll let applicants know by 16th December.
