Offaly Youth Theatre To Hold Open Auditions For ‘Dead Famous’

By Justin Kelly

Offaly Youth Theatre are hosting open auditions for an upcoming show on Thursday, February 5 from 7-9pm at The Central Hotel on Main Street, Tullamore.

If you know anyone aged 13-21 with an aspiration to perform on the stage in front of a live audience, this is the perfect opportunity to realise that ambition. Dead Famous is a “devised play about a group of actors; some dead, some famous, some dead famous,” an OYT statement read. “If you would like to be involved with a creative, fun and dynamic youth theatre, come along to the Central Hotel on Thursday,” it continued.

Those interested in taking part are invited to attend the auditions with a prepared monologue, or they can choose from a selection available on the night. The production will take place in March this year, and rehearsals will run on Thursday evenings throughout February and March.

Offaly Youth Theatre promotes a youth led environment, and they say “members can write for the stage, act for stage or screen, or get help in preparation for third level drama courses, as well as learn about lighting, directing and camera work.”

Offaly Youth Theatre is supported by Offaly County Council and The National Association of Youth Drama, and is run by a voluntary group of facilitators in Tullamore, Edenderry and Birr.

Interested individuals can contact the theatre at offalyyouththeatre@gmail.com or find OYT on Facebook.
