Auditions

Come and act in one of the 17 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 2024/2025 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.

Before Harry Potter exploded onto the scene there was another seemingly ordinary child, Mildred Hubble, who wound up in the most extraordinary of places… A school for witches! Now its time for you to join the world of magic and mayhem at Altrincham Garrick Playhouse this Easter Holiday!

Currently in her final year at Miss Cackle’s Academy, accident prone Mildred and her fellow pupils are about to embark on their biggest adventure yet… When Mildred and her friends decide to put on a play about their experiences as witches in training, mayhem inevitably ensues.

Jealous Ethel Hallow is always out to spoil Mildred’s fun. Stern Miss Hardbroom is opposed to all fun in general. Worst of all, an old enemy returns with a plan for revenge that could threaten not just the Academy, but the whole world.

Featuring all of Jill Murphy’s beloved characters, this action-packed new stage adaptation by Emma Reeves includes original music, magic and a dose of Mildred’s unique brand of utter pandemonium!

The Worst Witch premiered at Royal & Derngate, Northampton in 2019 and toured the UK before transferring to London’s West End later that year. The production then went on to win the Olivier Award for Best Family Show in 2020!

Written by John Steinbeck
Directed by Joseph Meighan

“Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don't belong no place...with us it ain't like that. We got a future. We got somebody to talk to that gives a damn about us.”

George and Lennie are migrants with a dream; a dream of a better life, a place where they can belong, where Lennie feels safe and George can be somebody. But this is the Great Depression, not many dreams come true in a time where a few have plenty but most have nothing. When the friends take a job on Curly’s farm, tragedy unfolds leading to a heart-breaking decision.

John Steinbeck’s classic novel is more than 80 years old, but with themes of economic migration, racism, prejudice and exclusion it remains a parable for our times.

A story of enduring friendship and hope.

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