Rise & Howl Productions
New female-led production company. Supporting emerging talent in the North through impactful storytelling.
With a commitment to supporting the growth of underrepresented talent and voices, we strive to instigate societal change through meaningful media.We are proud to be part of the Northern arts powerhouse.




Rise & Howl is delighted to be creating this paid opportunity for a small team of actors to spend a day working with our director, writer and a group of inspiring nurses on a new piece of writing based around real-life testimonies.
Rise & Howl is committed to inclusivity. The casting call out best represents the demographic that volunteered to be interviewed, and for clarity includes trans men.
We are committed to engage with actors who will represent those that have shared their deeply personal stories and are dedicated to bring truth, humour, empathy and sensitivity to our project.
We are looking for people who understand and share this passion.
To apply please email riseandhowl@gmail.com subject line: AO-CASTING-YOUR NAME.
Please include in your email why you would be interested in working as part of a team in this R & D. If you have experience of any similar projects feel free to share links or give an example in your email. Please send a headshot or any Mandy/ Spotlight links if you use those platforms.
Depending on the number of applications, we may need to audition those selected to go through to the next stage. This would be via self tape of a short piece (approx 1 min) which we would supply.
This work would not be possible without the support of The John Hodgson Theatre Research Trust to whom we are extremely grateful.
Deadline for applications: 19th December
