About Cyrano de Bergerac

blurb

Who are we looking for?

Although the original book has very specific descriptions of each character, we want to keep all roles open to anybody – all genders, races, ages, body types, orientations are eligible and welcome. We aim to create a mix of our established actors and newcomers, so everyone auditioning has an equal chance to be cast.

It is important to us that each actor has a worthwhile experience, so we will have some actors playing single larger roles, and some playing multiple smaller roles. That means we will need both solid and versatile performers.

Skills that do well in this play are:

  • a talent for spoken and/or physical comedy

  • a playful and curious mind

  • enthusiasm for the idea of growing together as a cast

  • open communication and trustworthiness about availability

  • an ability and readiness to learn lines and cues

Do not worry if you have little stage experience or if you don’t know the original work. We welcome new talent and will explore this story together. Actors will also receive direction and training to improve their skills and strengths.

Rehearsals

We’ll be performing Cyrano de Bergerac on 21 and 22 March 2026 in Utrecht, and on 28 and 29 March in Amsterdam.

Some important notes:

  • This is an amateur production, and actors will be asked to become member of English Theatre Utrecht for this season. There is a participation fee of €150**. A reduced €100 participation fee is available if your financial situation would make participation difficult.

  • All cast members are expected to help out if possible. You could help out with gathering props or costumes, aid in transport, etc.

  • The sign-up sheet contains an availability check. Please fill this in very carefully. If you get cast and agree to participate, we will expect you to attend on all of the dates you indicated you could be there, excepting sickness and emergencies. Any unplanned absences need to be closely communicated in order to protect the quality of the rehearsals. 

  • Registration for the auditions will close on Sunday 21 September.

  • Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation. Approximately a week before your audition, you’ll receive the address of the location, some additional information and materials to prepare for the audition. You will not be required to memorise any texts.

Good luck! We are looking forward to meeting you.

**We understand that people’s financial situations may differ. We aim to be inclusive, so if you fear you cannot afford the participation fee, please let us know directly. Asking for the reduced participation fee will not affect your chances of being cast.

You can pay with your U pas allowance
