Be a part of the New Wolsey Theatre’s Production of Once

2 May 2018 News Download the full press release

Would you like the chance to be part of a production at The New Wolsey Theatre?

We have the opportunity for two children to play Ivanka in Once this Autumn!

Once tells the unforgettable story of a Dublin street musician and a funny Czech woman, drawn together by their shared love of music.

As they assemble a band from her wild Czech family and his quirky Irish mates, the craic grows, the music flows and they fall slowly in love. The ensemble of actor/musicians play their instruments live on stage, in a dynamic show that steals your heart. If you ever imagined Ed Sheeran writing a musical, this is probably what it would sound like.

Once is about what happens when you take chances and go for your dreams.

Winner of eight Tony Awards® in 2012, including BEST MUSICAL.

A New Wolsey Theatre and Queen Theatre Hornchurch production.

We are looking for two girls, who look between the ages of 5-7 years old to play the daughter of “Girl”. There will be two children cast who will alternate throughout the run.

Production dates:

Thursday 6 September – Saturday 22 September 2018, with matinees on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Rehearsal dates:

Rehearsals are currently TBC but may include Summer holidays, after school and weekend sessions until the production opens in September.

Register to audition!

If you would like to be considered for a role in this production, please register to attend our audition on Saturday 19 May, 10am-11am, at New Wolsey Theatre Studio, St. George’s Street, Ipswich IP1 3NF.
