Actor Peter de Jersey Casting

Casting works closely with the director to understand his or her ideas for the production and stays involved through auditions. They also manage the complexity of actors contracted to play in several productions. In general, at least five actors are auditioned for each available part and department members see over 25 productions a month in the process of scouting talent.

"The role here is so different to the equivalent position anywhere else as you are casting a company who will more often than not be contracted to perform in multiple productions. It is a privilege to work for an ambitious, successful and forward-looking organization."

— Hannah Miller, Head of Casting
