Theatre Auditions & Casting Calls in the UK
Theatre auditions and casting calls from across the UK are listed live on Casting Callback, spanning musical theatre and plays, fringe and repertory, touring productions, new writing and open casting calls. It is where professional stage actors find their next role without paying to access the work.
Every producer and company is verified and every casting notice is quality-checked. Unlike services that charge to see jobs, Casting Callback is free forever to apply: browse theatre auditions, submit your headshots, credits and cover letter, and track every application in one place.
Musical theatre, plays and fringe auditions
Theatre casting directors read cover letters closely, so respond to what the brief asks for to improve your chances of being shortlisted. Create your free profile and enable instant job alerts to respond first when a new theatre casting is posted.
Musical theatre auditions usually ask for a song and sometimes a dance call, while plays and new writing focus on your acting and cold-reading. Fringe and profit-share shows are a great way to build stage credits, and touring and repertory productions offer longer contracts.
