Bootcamp 2024 -

Starts October 9th 2024

Bootcamp is an 8-week acting & professional development course led by Artistic Director Jimmy Fairhurst at Shakespeare North Playhouse.

Following the successes of last year's BOOTCAMP, enrollment is now open for our October 2024 intake.

In week eight, participants will perform monologues and/or scenes during an industry showcase performance.

Previous showcase attendees included:

  • Agents

  • Artistic directors

  • Television production companies

  • Casting Directors

  • World Class Industry Creatives

*Please note there are limited places available

NTT is passionate about creating opportunities—so much so that the cast of A Midsummer Night’s Dream saw 6 creatives make their professional debuts. One 2023 BOOTCAMP participant was cast in the critically acclaimed Northern Soul show The Social, another was recently offered an apprenticeship with the company and numerous participants have been given paid work by the company.

This year, we will host two courses, ENTRY-LEVEL and GRADUATES, to accommodate all experience levels. Please see below for more information and how to apply. Successful applicants will begin the 8 week course on October 9th 2024.

Scholarships

For each of the ENTRY-LEVEL and GRADUATES courses, one full scholarship and one part scholarship are available for individuals from a low socio-economic background. For more information, please enquire through the application links below.
