Useful Information
You’ll need to be confident in scene work and have an understanding of basic longform techniques (editing, tags, sweeps, and “cut to” transitions).
Yes, auditions are simply to confirm your current level of knowledge and listening. You do not need to be an experienced performer, be quick or funny, or have any formal theatre training. We look for improvisers who listen, support, and elevate their scene partners.
We perform in multiple productions each year, alongside regular rehearsals and workshops.
A variety of formats and styles — from established longform structures to brand-new concepts developed by the company.
Absolutely. You’ll be part of a connected team, and the rehearsal process will build your confidence, skill, and trust in the group.

All City Academy tutors are experienced professionals from theatre, film/TV and performance industries. So whilst they're training you they may also be rehearsing for a West End show or working on a movie. We like that and we do believe it makes a difference in class.
