Join the Chaos

Rehearsals. Glitter. Gaffer tape. Get stuck in.

Whether you’re a stage-hungry performer or a backstage wizard with a staple gun, there’s a space for you in the Far Out madness. We’re always on the lookout for cast and crew who aren’t afraid of sweat, sequins, and script rewrites at 2am.

 

Join the Cast

Singing voice optional. Stage presence essential.

If you’re comfortable with suggestive one-liners and the odd custard pie, you’ll fit right in.

We’re always on the lookout for new cast members who are bold, brave, and brilliant (and not afraid of glitter in places glitter shouldn't be). You must be 18+, reliably committed, and up for making chaos on stage - and backstage.

Far Out pantos are fully original, and our scripts are written around the team we have. We audition every new performer (don’t panic - it’s informal and fun), and we build roles to suit the wild and wonderful people who join us.

All cast members are asked to sign our Production Commitment Agreement, which includes:

  • Attending every single performance - no excuses, no “I’ve got a hen do” surprises.

  • Showing up to all scheduled rehearsals you’re called for.

  • Being a decent human, playing your part, and mucking in.

We don’t pay anyone - we’re all volunteers - but what we offer is priceless: A ridiculous amount of fun. An unbeatable theatre family. And enough memories (and incriminating photos) to last a lifetime.


 Join the Crew

No spotlight. No script. No problem.

Our shows can’t happen without the army of legends behind the scenes.

Whether you’re a whizz with wigs, a dab hand with a needle, an Excel wizard, or just really good at moving heavy things and not asking questions - we want you.

Crew roles at Far Out Theatre are wild and varied. You might be:

  • Fitting wigs or applying glitter in the dressing room.

  • Selling merch out front.

  • Sewing costumes, steaming skirts, or hot-gluing hats.

  • Running lights, mixing sound, or calling cues.

  • Managing backstage chaos (bonus points if you can find a missing show in under 30 seconds).

  • Building the set, painting flats, or keeping order on the van run.

  • Just generally being brilliant at getting shit done.

  • Some crew join us just for show week. Others are in the trenches with us from day one. Either way, we ask everyone to sign our Production Commitment Agreement - which just means you’re all in (and you’re not going to ghost us mid tech week).

You won’t get paid, but you'll get:

  • Access to our secret snack stash.

  • Group chats of utter nonsense.

  • And the satisfaction of knowing you helped pull off the most inappropriate panto in the UK.

 

Curious? Committed? Mildly intrigued?

We write our shows around you - so once you're in, you’re in. No disappearing acts. No “can I just miss one show?” No ghosts.

We don’t pay - and we don’t ask you to pay - but we do promise good snacks, bruised knees, lifelong friendships, and enough memories to last a lifetime.


Think You’ve Got What It Takes?
