Club Membership
Anyone aged 18-25, with a desire to develop a career in theatre can become an Associate Member of the Club and attend a range of events and workshops. Simply send your name, address, telephone number and whether you are an actor, writer, director or producer to newvoices@oldvictheatre.org to be considered for membership.

Full membership of the Club is only awarded to practitioners who achieve a place in the final company for the annual The 24 Hour Plays: New Voices project. Members receive priority booking for Club events and are offered first refusal for Club resources.

Club Resources
Access to resources depends on whether you are a Full or Associate member. Full members receive priority booking for Club events and the support to realise projects that they are passionate about, including free rehearsal space and production funding through the New Voices Award. Full members are also given the opportunity to apply to take part in the US/UK Exchange, which allows them to showcase work in New York.

We have created a guide specifically for young and emerging practitioners, offering a range of advice on pushing your career forward. You can either download the complete guide or individual sections on acting, writing, directing, producing and showcasing your work. All members (Full and Associate) can promote their shows and meet other members through our MySpace and Facebook pages.

Club Events
Throughout the year, we run a variety of workshops, masterclasses, networking and mentoring events which are specifically tailored to help young practitioners learn from industry professionals. Our Sept-Oct 2008 programme is now available to book, click here for full details and a booking form.
