OUDS Finalists Showcase
Calling all final year students who will be graduating this year! The OUDS Showcase will be returning in 2026 on the 31st of March at the Seven Dials Playhouse in Soho.
What is the showcase?
The OUDS showcase is an annual event where graduating, aspiring professional actors will have the opportunity to perform in a theatre in London in front of agents, producers and directors. It’s a great opportunity to get your name out there and meet and mingle with some people who are making decisions in the casting room, or possibly looking to represent you. This opportunity is open to everyone who is graduating this year - regardless if you’ve done 2 shows or 22 shows (or 0!). Actors will be selected by a third party industry professional to make the process as fair as possible. The deadline for applications is midnight on Sunday the 15th of February
We will also be able to subsidise travel to and from London.
How to apply
To apply, please submit a monologue of your choice and a short letter of intent (300-500 words) talking a bit about how you got into acting, any previous experience you have, and what you hope to get from the showcase. This letter will help make the selection process fair and accessible.
The deadline for applications is midnight on Sunday the 15th of February.
If you are unsure of what monologue to choose, their are a selection of monologues in the OUDS Monologue Bank.
If you have any questions about the process, or if there is anything we can do to make the application more accessible for you, please email president@ouds.org.
