Trent Valley Archives Theatre – Audition Notice

Trent Valley Archives Theatre is holding auditions on February 25 and February 26 to cast 16 volunteer actors of all ages and all levels of experience for its May 2025 fundraising production, Crossing Over.

The history play, sequel to last year’s sold-out show Tide of Hope, takes place aboard the storm-tossed John Barry – the last of the nine sailing ships that ultimately brought 2000 Irish settlers to the area.

The script for Crossing Over is ready to be put into the hands of a cast and crew.
