Stagebox announces nationwide auditions on the search for young stars

TV, Film and Theatre programme Stagebox has announced free open auditions across the UK.

Taking place in April 2022, the annual search sees experts audition passionate performers aged 8-18 years old from across the country (and internationally), offering successful members the chance to benefit from world class training and opportunities in a contemporary supercharged industry accelerator for musical theatre, television and film.

Auditionees will be put through their paces in their choice of either an acting or musical theatre discipline.

Auditions take place between 2 – 24 April at venues in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Edinburgh and London. For more details and to register, visit the Stage Box website.

Many young performers training at Stagebox have already landed dream roles on stage and screen, appearing in shows such as Peaky Blinders (Netflix), Sex Education (Netflix), Robin Robin (Netflix), Ted Lasso (Apple TV+), Avenue 5 (HBO), The Power (Amazon Studios), Pistol (Disney +), BAFTA anthology Superdad (Channel 4), Gentleman Jack (Netflix/HBO), Lagging (BBC) and many more.

On stage, Stagebox management clients have starred in West End and touring productions of Frozen, Matilda the Musical, School of Rock, Annie, The Grinch, Mary Poppins and Tina the Musical to name a few.

Stagebox’s General Manager, Jasmine Quinlan Gardner, said: “We are so excited to begin our nationwide search for the stars of today and tomorrow. We are proud of our inclusive, diverse and extraordinarily talented community and we can’t wait to meet those who will join us on the journey.”
