For youngsters who love to perform, The Essex Group provide a dedicated environment for young actors to realise their potential
Welcome. In twenty years The Essex Group have presented over 100 musical productions that have varied in style, challenge and achievement. From the simple musical revue to world premieres, we have always sought to provide new experiences at all levels of age and accomplishment. We have adopted professional standards through our audition and rehearsal approach and have an open door open audition policy which means anybody can step up to the challenge of taking part in an Essex Group show. Our accomplished artistic team; spearheaded by Gary & Ann Sullivan cast our shows completely from scratch to ensure that our performance standards are maintained and through this process we have amassed a register of some of the most accomplished young actors in Essex. -
Whilst our team audition and cast each show from scratch, The Essex Group be live in developing newcomers to the stage too. There is always room for the novice as well as the accomplished.
Before we audition we publish our forthcoming show details here on this web site as well as emailing past performers. From the information circulated you can decide if you would like to take part and apply to us for an audition time. Auditioning for a solo spot in any show means that you will be required to sing a song before the audition panel which is normally made up of our Director, Musical Director, Choreographer and Production Director. If you are auditioning to be considered for a place in the ensemble then you will audition alongside six to eight others as a group. This is an ideal way for a newcomer to get involved first time around. If a show requires dancers then an additional dance audition is normally arranged after we have heard everyone sing; as our dancers must be able to sing as well. Once we have auditioned all hopefuls, and normally within 14 days after the auditions, we publish the casting outcomes on this web site.
