Actors' Company Audition

Step Into the Spotlight! Audition for Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov:

In Summer 2025, City Academy’s Actors Company is bringing a fresh and dynamic production of Uncle Vanya to life, directed by the innovative Mark Prince - and we want you to be a part of it!

This is your chance to be part of a cast that will bring Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya to life in a fresh and compelling way. Set in a country estate, this powerful play explores the complexities of love, regret, and longing, as the characters wrestle with their desires and unfulfilled dreams. At the heart of the drama is Vanya, a man who has spent his life in quiet frustration, and the arrival of the charismatic doctor, Astrov, stirs up tensions, old passions, and new revelations. Whether you're a seasoned actor or stepping onto the stage for the first time, this is your opportunity to explore deep emotions and shine in a beautifully reimagined classic.

Why Audition?

• Be part of a creative and welcoming company.
• Explore a fresh take on classic characters.
• Immerse yourself in a story filled with humour, romance, and transformation.
