There is no need to book an audition – just turn up on the night.

As an added incentive:
Faye Rolph Management (Rupi Gill, Eileen Walder) have kindly offered to donate a free representation (photo shoot etc. included) to one of our actors who they consider has that X factor for film and TV.  This is a very generous offer and a way for one of our actors to impress a reputable agent.
