Please note, if you have disability requirements or need wheelchair access, do not hesitate to add a comment down below so we can work out requirements.
Who is at the door?.
A Doll's House, Part 2 is a smart, funny and thought provoking contemporary sequel to A Doll’s House, written by Lucas Hnath and first performed on Broadway in 2017. The story picks up 15 years after Nora famously slams the door on her oppressive life. Ideas of independence, expectation and the possible life that exist in resistance.

We are looking for four actors to bring this play to life! These actors will work closely with the director and the rest of the production team to rehearse and develop this show. Rehearsals may take place on some weeknights, and on weekends with days to be advised following casting, and rehearsals expected to increase closer to opening of the show.
Across this process, the production team is here to help and assist in any and all preparation for performance. Intimacy and choreography (where needed) will be provided. Dramatic experience is a plus but certainly not required!
For the auditions please prepare a contemporary monologue (2-3 minutes) in a similar style to the show (look to playwrights such as Annie Baker, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Mike Bartlett, Alice Birch, Joshua Harmon). Actors may be asked to cold read scenes from other plays in their auditions, and can advise then if additional support is needed, ie. extra time to read these scenes.
Auditions will be held at St Columba’s Church on the evenings of Sunday 23 from 4:30-7pm, Monday 24 from 5 - 9:30pm and possibly on Thursday 27 March from 6 - 9:30pm (noting the last date is only if required and not offered in the first instance), in 1 hour group slots. Call backs, when excerpts from the play will be used, will be held at the Church Hall during in the afternoon on Saturday 29 March from 12-3pm. You will be emailed about these with as much notice as possible.
SCRIPTS are available from Canberra REP Theatre Wed-Fri 10am – 4pm. Closed on public holidays. There is a $5 cash deposit for scripts – refundable on return at the auditions. No card payments taken.
We are dedicated to telling stories that reflect and engage with the community they come from. In line with this, we highly encourage actors from diverse backgrounds, BIPOC creatives, linguistically diverse creatives, members of the LGBTQ+ community and members of the Disabled community to audition.
You will receive an email confirming all your audition details once you have applied. If you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to tell us how much you love this play, email us here:

Secrets and lies abound in an English country manor house. No one believes Clarissa’s truth but everyone believes her lies. What could possibly go wrong?
Spider’s Web reveals what can go wrong in a day without really trying.

We are looking for 11 actors to bring this play to life! These actors will work closely with the director and the rest of the production team to rehearse and develop this show. Rehearsals may take place on some weeknights, and on weekends with days to be advised following casting, and rehearsals expected to increase closer to opening of the show.
Across this process, the production team is here to help and assist in any and all preparation for performance. Intimacy and fight choreography (where needed) will be provided. Dramatic experience is a plus but certainly not required!
Please prepare a scene based on the character you wish to audition for and be open to reading another scene in auditions should it be required.
'Clarissa will be gender specific and the director is looking for a strong and experienced female identifying performer, but is very open to people auditioning for a role that excites them. The chief inspector and constable will be cast as a duo based on dynamic rather than a preconceived idea. For Example: I am very open to a young female identifying performer who can bring inspector energy. Auditionees are encouraged to be bold and audition for a role that excites them as long as they can justify why. They can let the audition panel work out if that is the best fit for them in the show. Accent work if required will be done during the rehearsal period, just give it your best shot for now!'
Auditions will either be held at Yarralumla or Manuka Guide Halls (TBC) on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 March in 1 hour group slots from 9:30am - 5pm. Call-backs will be held during in the evening on Monday 1 April at Canberra REP Theatre, and you will be emailed about these with as much notice as possible.
