Frequently Asked Questions

What do you mean by ‘underrepresented’?
You could be: global majority, disabled, or from a lower income background. There are lots of other ways you could be underrepresented, we don’t expect people to fit in boxes.

What’s on the form? 
The form asks for information about you, such as your name, date of birth and gender. We ask for a passport style photo, this is only used internally and won’t be shared. The form also gives you space to tell us why you want to be in the Ensemble, this can be written or in a video.

What happens once I fill in the form?
Once you finish the form you’ll hear from us by 6 October 2023 with details of what we would like you to prepare for your audition (if anything). Auditions will take place on 14 October Don’t worry if you don’t hear from us before then! If you have questions please email engage@mayflower.org.uk.

I’m under 16, what can I do? 
You have to be at least 16 to take part in Elevate. While you wait you could apply to Mayflower Youth Theatre, or audition to be in our Summer or Christmas productions. There are bursaries and sibling discounts available.
