Charlotte is currently casting several productions for the 2018 Chichester Festival, where her credits include Quiz (now transferred to the West End), Fiddler on the Roof, The Stepmother and Caroline, or Change (now transferred to Hampstead Theatre and opening in the West End in late 2018).
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.
