WORK WITH US
“Working with Alfie James Productions is a real joy. Even as a more mature Actor starting out Alfie has given me a tremendous amount of support to progress providing a safe environment to learn and wonderful opportunities.” (Lesley, Performer)

Artistic support and teamwork are an essential part of our work and our artistic vision. We strongly believe in supporting our fellow artists especially at the early part of their career. As a small theatre group, we specialize in developing small intimate performances, developing community theatre projects which raises awareness of social issues. We love working with people whom have new creative ideas, enthusiasm and willingness to work with us to develop the rather special and unique work which we do.
By Artistic support – whether it is a performer or other creative, we will do our best to offer support in your artistic development when you work with us. We will give you the freedom to develop your work and your ideas whilst giving advice too. We will do our best to support and provide training where we can.
There are many different opportunities which we do provide. Most of our opportunities are advertised here and on our social media platforms. You can also send us an email to express an interest with any additional information about your work. (CV, Show reel, links to past work, websites)
Opportunities which we provide:
-Acting opportunities: We regularly stage productions and hold auditions to all our plays. Not all productions are paid, and this is clearly highlighted when advertising auditions.
-Involvement in our community theatre projects: We lead a range of different projects for artists (of different levels of ability) to get involved in. All our projects are free to take part in.
-Workshop leaders and Volunteering opportunities: We are always looking for fellow Artists and volunteers to support our community theatre projects. Training and DBS checks are provided where required.
-Creative opportunities: We are always looking for Technicians, Costume and Set Designers, Front of House and Marketing support for our productions. Where possible, we provide paid opportunities.
-Opportunities for Writers: We’re always looking for new plays and new writers to work with.

Our Unscene Theatre is a new community theatre project which aims to work with a small group of blind and partially sighted adults alongside a group of sighted performers working collaboratively to explore ways of making theatre more accessible before creating a small performance.
We are looking for a couple of volunteers to help support our visually impaired members to access the project.
We are ideally looking for people who have experience in supporting visually impaired adults (but not essential as we can train you) and who have a current DBS check.
