Charlotte is currently casting several productions for the 2017 Chichester Festival, where her credits this season include Fiddler on the Roof, Sweet Bird of Youth and Caroline, or Change.

Using Charlotte's experience casting at some of the UK's top theatres this workshop will look 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.
