Applause Casting Agency - Application forms and further information.

The Applause Casting Agency aims to secure performance work for children learning with the Applause theatre school. You child does not have to be a member of the casting agency to be a part of the school.

If you wish for your child to work through the casting agency please download the application form pack from the box on the left hand side of this page.

Applause Theatre School & Casting Agency are members of the National Network for Child Employment and Entertainment and abide by their recommendations and regulations. http://www.buckscc.gov.uk/nncee/

Your child will also be protected by the Applause Child Protection Policy and the Data Protection Act 1998. Your childs’ safety and well being are paramount. While your childs’ photo will appear on the website, there will not be a direct reference to who they are. Each photo has a code that only the principle of the school has access to. The principle will deal with only legitimate professional enquiries from prospective directors, producers and other casting organisations. It is a term of registration to the Applause Casting Agency that a responsible adult will accompany all children to auditions.

Things you need to know

+ One photo is shown on the website, however further images are available for prospective employers to view on request. If you would like to purchase the photographs for your self, you will need to contact the photographer directly.

+ The fee payable when you join the casting agency enables us to promote your child in the world of theatre and television. As well as appearing on the website, various advertising campaigns will take place throughout the year.

+ When you join the casting agency, your parent/ guardian has signed a declaration agreeing for Applause Theatre School to represent you. It should be made clear that it is not good practise for you to be registered with another agency. Please refer to the Applause terms & conditions.

It should be noted that payment from employers can often take some time. We will pay you within two weeks of receipt of employers’ funds.

+ When you go for an audition, please ensure that you are clean and tidy. Take a hair brush and smile a lot. Wear clothes & shoes that are suitable. We will help you with all aspects of your audition.
