Novo Theatre Workshop Auditions

Novo Theatre (formerly November Club)


Job Summary

Novo Theatre want to meet actors in Newcastle and Northumberland interested in making immersive and site-specific work.  

Job Description

Novo Theatre want to meet actors in Newcastle and Northumberland interested in making immersive and site-specific work.

We are holding two days of workshop auditions with the intention of meeting new actors. In these auditions we will also be considering casting for our next year of work which will include two significant projects:

  • Salt and Smoke – a site-specific promenade show in Blyth in September 2025

  • Home from Home – an immersive show for children we anticipate touring in 2026

In addition, we will be considering actors for several smaller pieces of work over the next 18 months.

There are currently no specific casting requirements for any of these and we are interested in seeing actors with all casting profiles.

Why are we casting this way?
As part of our commitment to Novo Talent we want to continue to increase our knowledge of the actors and talent in the region. We hope that by holding a more open audition process as we consider casting for the next year, we will get to meet brilliant people we didn’t know about or haven’t had the opportunity to work with yet. We also hope the audition workshop will be an interesting insight into a specific and unusual type of theatre making, although we stress that this process is a real audition and we are looking to cast shows for autumn and summer next year.

Links to full casting call details are provided in this listing, including a large text option.

You must:

  • Be resident in the North East

  • Have at least 1 professional credit and be able to commit to a professional rehearsal period if cast (i.e.: full time for several weeks during production)

  • Actors with disabilities and actors who are neurodiverse

  • Actors and performers who have not worked with Novo Theatre (previously November Club)
