We are currently recruiting!

We’re looking for actors for tours in 2025. The first of these runs from 6th January to 9th February (dates TBC in final contract). Later tours will be updated on this page, but please feel free to get in touch before then.

About the Role:

Oddments Theatre Company is a Christian theatre group dedicated to sharing powerful stories through drama in schools, churches, theatres, and prisons across the UK. Our productions use innovative stage sets and offer visual theatre that is both thought-provoking and entertaining.

We offer a variety of work across different venues. The upcoming shows will be performed in churches, schools, and prisons.

The Productions:

  • ‘Hiding Place’ – The Corrie ten Boom Story (a well-established 1-hour, 30-minute show)
  • ‘My Story’ – A new 50-minute production designed specifically for prisons.

Tour Information:

The tour will run for four to five weeks following the completion of rehearsals. Cast members will experience the typical touring lifestyle, including setup and pack-down responsibilities at each venue.

  • Accommodation: Provided during rehearsals and throughout the tour (team housing, host families, or occasional hotels).
  • Non-performance Days: Practical work will be organized on days when there is no performance. Each week, cast members will have two days off.

Rehearsals:

  • Initial Line Practice: Two online sessions will be required before full rehearsals begin.
  • Full Rehearsals: In-person, paid rehearsals will be held in Yeovil.

What We’re Looking For:

We are seeking reliable actors who:

  • Have a living Christian faith
  • Are good team players with a strong work ethic
  • Demonstrate versatility and adaptability

We value good character as much as good acting. We are a company that works hard for one another, and we seek cast members who are a positive influence and great team players.

A formal contract will be issued to confirm the terms.
