WRITE OR AUDITION FOR MAKE THE CUT – INFO BELOW.

Make The Cut is the hottest competition for actors and writers seeking an opportunity and a platform to showcase their talents.

Some of the UK’s most talented emerging artists are selected to compete in front of a voting audience and an industry panel. Hoping to make the cut, writers submit their work and the top monologues are shortlisted for the competition. After a first round of auditions, actors are chosen to go head to head, performing the monologues in a series of rounds, in which the winning actor and writer is chosen!

WINNING PRIZES! Supporting rising talent in moving forward with their careers!

Actors: £156 towards Equity membership (Trade Union for professional performers) or a term’s free membership to The Actors Club run by Director’s Cut Theatre Company.

Writers: Free script development service. Three dramaturgy sessions (full script analysis) on any script or piece of writing of their choice with Artistic Director Heather Ward or free membership to The Writers Club run by Director’s Cut Theatre Company.

A competition like no other. The question is – who will Make The Cut?
