Actors Wanted

BACKGROUND

The Young and Hungry Festival of New Theatre is comprised of three new New Zealand scripts written specifically for youth audiences. The Festival is performed and designed by 15-25 year olds in a two-week season at Bats theatre, with each of the three productions being performed every night.

Professional theatre practitioners are contracted by the Trust to mentor these young people in all facets of the Festival’s production, including: acting, lighting, sound, costumes, set, and stage management.

The rehearsal and design process runs over eight weeks to ensure that enough time is given to both the actors' development of their characters and the technical students' realisation of their design.
