Following a lengthy audition process, a selection of actors (including a youth round for 11-17 year olds), go head-to-head to perform for a welcoming audience and a panel of industry professionals including agents, casting directors and directors.
With many previous participants going on to secure agents and work, this is the only industry showcase to be endorsed by casting directory Spotlight and Equity.
Renowned for offering a direct link between talent and the industry, come along and witness the most exciting new talent that Coventry has to offer. MonologueSlam offers a fast paced, fun night out, with a celebrity host, showcasing local talent from actors to musicians.
Age recommendation: 14+
