Casting call for “Warriors” a new Scottish musical.

Description

This is a paid profit share production, more details to follow below.

The show follows 4 serving soldiers from 1 SCOTS who have just been posted to Colchester as part of 16 Air Assault Brigade, the soldiers have only recently passed their infantry training and are about to head off to Afghanistan.

It shows how these soldiers deal with life, love, death, relationships, homosexuality, substance abuse and the mundane day to day living and training for current operations in Afghanistan, as well as how going away affects those around them.

The show was previously performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2023 with 5 star reviews, and again at the Oran Mor in Glasgow in August 2024.

Looking for 5-6 strong male presenting singer-actors with some previous dance experience, playing age 22-30, to complete our cast and help bring this show to life through 2026.
Looking for cast members to take on the lead roles of the 4 soldiers as well as flexible performers who are willing to take on a swing/cover role in the production and learn 2 parts each. All covers/swings will be on standby for shows as well as getting confirmed dates on which they’ll perform.
There will be a readthrough in December and weekly rehearsals on Wednesday nights in Glasgow, as well as the occasional extra rehearsal to be arranged once we have a full cast, starting in January. The first show is planned for 25th April 2026 in Gartcosh, we will then have performances in various social and miners clubs between April and August, leading up to a full Fringe run in 2026.

Several fundraisers are being organised to bring in funds throughout the year, which combined with ticket sales will go towards making sure each performer gets a decent profit share. We are also hoping to provide a larger share to each performer during the fringe, we are working hard to make sure the show is well advertised and it will help assure it’s well attended, we will however also rely on the performers to help with advertising and ticket sales.
