The YEP Writers Showcase is back and we are looking for actors to perform the exciting new work of our emerging writers. 

What is it?
The YEP Writers Showcase is the first opportunity for our group of young writers to have their work performed professionally at the Everyman.

What do I need to have to apply?
You will need to be a confident actor who is ready to jump right into the varying worlds our writers have created. You should be good at learning lines and picking direction up quickly. You should be a team player and a supportive ensemble member, as well as a strong solo performer.

To apply, please send us a link to a self-tape no longer than 2 minutes. This could be a YouTube, Vimeo or Dropbox link (or similar) and should be something that you feel shows off your range. This can be a tape you already have from a previous audition or you can record something new!
