Current Vacancies – Call out for Actors

Heartbreak Productions is casting a Detective Duo for a brand-new murder mystery show this June! Commissioned by Arts Council England and in partnership with Warwickshire Libraries, ‘Body In The Library’ is an interactive show for adults which will tour libraries in the West Midlands during National Crime Fiction Month. 

We are casting a comedy Detective Duo who will interact with the audience during the show to solve the mystery collectively. This double act could be any age or gender! Most importantly, we are looking for performers with strong devising skills and a sense of play who are skilled at ad-libbing/audience interaction and are up for the challenge of working within non-traditional theatre spaces. We’d love to meet with Midlands-based team players who actively enjoy engaging in fast-paced devising projects.  

We’re particularly keen to hear from singers, musicians, physical performers (circus/puppetry a bonus!) who would also be comfortable driving a LWB van to the performances if necessary. 

We are striving to diversify our cast and creative team and we are particularly keen to hear from global majority actors for this role. 

Key dates: 

Auditions: 14th April – North Hall, Leamington Spa (possible zoom first round on 5th April) 

Rehearsal Dates:

12, 13, 18, 19, 20th May – North Hall Leamington (Devising)

We are not actively looking for any team members at the current time, but please get in touch if you are seeking work experience or volunteering opportunities in one of our city locations. We encourage applications from any individual passionate about the arts. Here at Heartbreak we share the values of Arts Council England Chair, Sir Peter Bazalgette:

“diversity, in its most inclusive and exciting sense, is beginning to inform our work at a deep level, as we respond to the needs of our national community, and show what great art can do for everyone” (Equality, Diversity & the Creative Case, A DATA REPORT, 2012-2015)
