Auditions Coming Up: THAT FACE by Polly Stenham

We’re casting for Polly Stenham’s THAT FACE, a hard-hitting, intense and visceral dissection of dysfunctional family structures. The play contains themes of addiction, abuse, and psychological transgression. Actors are thus invited to familiarize themselves with the play before the audition. If you require more information, please email us at up@uni-hamburg.de.

We welcome people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and abilities — no prior experience needed. You don’t need to prepare anything — just show up!

Not an actor but still want in? We’ve got lots of backstage roles too! Whether you’re into stage and props, costume and makeup, production or directing assistance, photo and video, lighting and sound, PR and social media, or even graphic design — there’s a place for you. Reach out beforehand or join us at the readthrough (date below).
