CASTING POLICY
The Loft’s policy is centred on casting the very best actors for each role. Our team of directors are committed to racial, cultural and artistic diversity and they embrace our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Policy at all times. The Loft values diversity in race, disability, gender, sexuality, socio-economic background, faith and age, so casting will start from this position and always be open and neutral. Everyone is welcome and warmly encouraged to attend auditions. If specific race/ethnicity or other characteristics are central to the story, we will make this clear in audition notices. There is no pre-casting without the express permission of the Artistic Director. The Policy will be communicated to all directors and auditionees.
We no longer have membership subscriptions. It is free to be part of the theatre company
