Ellie is currently casting the fifth cast for Witness for the Prosecution, two shows which are yet to be announced for the Vaults Theatre and a new piece of writing called a The Girl Who Fell for Trafalgar Studios.

Casting for Stage offers the opportunity to discuss with Ellie her take on the casting process, to read for her and receive honest feedback and advice.

The workshop will start with a brief introduction where Ellie will discuss her casting experience.

Ellie will receive your Spotlight CV prior to the workshop (please make sure it is up-to-date) and will then send out a selection of scenes for you to choose from / prepare shortly beforehand. You should be familiar with the text but you don't need to learn it. Ellie will give you feedback and may revisit certain sections of the scene again.

TAG workshops offer a supportive environment in which to work. All members perform their scenes in front of each other - offering a unique insight and opportunity for us as a group. There will be an informal Q&A towards the end of the workshop.
