● Interested applicants should download the script linked to the relevant character/s they are auditioning for and film a self-tape of the text.

Please also include an introduction of not more than 30 seconds expressing why you’d be interested in forming part of this production.

Alongside your self-tape and intro (which should be submitted as one video), please send over your CV (max 2 pages in pdf).

Send the self-tape and CV by email to info@teatrumanoel.mt by 13th November 2023. Enter ‘MEDEA AUDITIONS’ in the email subject field.

● Upon submission of the above, kindly also state if you are available for rehearsals during the day (anytime before 5pm). Please note that daytime availability is not a necessity, but it would be useful for us to know if you have such flexibility.

● Please let us know if you would be open to being considered for other roles besides the role you have taped for.

● If you get through to the second round, the next stage would be an in-person audition in December.

● Keep an eye out for further auditions for other roles early next year.

● Please ensure that you record your self-tape audition in front of a plain background, in landscape, as a mid-shot (chest upwards) with good lighting and sound.

If the text forwarded to you includes dialogue, please work with a reader. Tapes should be titled with your name and the role you are auditioning for.

DEADLINE for tapes to reach us is 13th November 2023.
