Using Charlotte's experience casting at the National Theatre, the Ambassador Theatre Group and now as a freelance Casting Director (Regent’s Park Open Air, Chichester Festival Theatre, Sheffield Crucible), this workshop will look at at the casting process and what makes a CV stand out in a pile of hundreds.

Beginning with an introduction to her casting processes, Charlotte will work through participants' CVs to show what catches her eye and what to avoid all together. There will be opportunity to ask questions throughout.
