Auditions

Come and act in one of the 18 productions that the Altrincham Garrick Society produces each season !

Auditioning at the Garrick could land you in a mainstage play like this: Shawshank Redemption

Please refer to the Garrick Actor’s Guide for all information about auditioning for acting roles in our 2025/2026 Season at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse. 

In addition, each production has a dedicated audition pack, which will be uploaded to our website about 4 weeks before the auditions, and which will include information about what to prepare, character descriptions and more.

Note that the Altrincham Garrick is a non-professional organisation, meaning that actors are not paid.

The Merry Garrick Panto that really hits the bullseye!

The fine folk of Sherwood Forest are terrorised by the mounting taxes imposed by the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham who’ll stop at nothing to seize the throne of England and claim the fair Maid Marian as his bride.

Only the outlaw Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men can save the day. With the help of the hapless Silly Willy and his not so glamorous mother Nanny Fanny, can Sherwood be saved from the Sheriff’s clutches? Or will they be left all aquiver? 


Packed with laugh-out-loud comedy, audience interaction, toe-tapping tunes, dazzling dance numbers, and a fresh twist on a classic tale, ROBIN HOOD promises to be the perfect theatre outing for the entire family.


Whether you're young or just young at heart, this is a magical festive treat you won’t want to miss.

Every relationship reaches a crossroad some time.
 

As dawn breaks, Maggie is heating some milk and Gary wonders what she’s doing out of bed.


Maybe it’s time for an honest conversation – but how much honesty can this marriage take? 


Their unhappiness, questions about the direction of their lives, their years together, and what they actually still want from life. It is all about to come out.

Is this the beginning of the end, or is it just the middle?

Middle is a truthful, moving and funny portrait of a forty-something couple whose marriage hangs in the balance, with all the beauty, awkwardness and honesty of real life.

 

This is the second of three plays by David Eldridge. Beginning, Middle, and most recently, End make up a fascinating trilogy exploring love and relationships. End has just recently finished a successful, sell-out run at the National Theatre.

 

Content Warning: This play contains strong language and adult themes. 


We are a diverse theatre and we welcome auditionees of all ages (over the age of 18) and all genders, ethnicities, sexualities, disabilities and races, to enrich the work of the production.


Rehearsals: Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 7.30pm – 10pm, and every Sunday 2pm – 5.30pm
