CO2 are looking for young people to join the cast of their production of School of Rock at the Mercury Theatre, 5th-8th October 2023.

Due to the requirements of the show, we will be increasing the age range to 9-23 for this show only (must be 9 years old by the first rehearsal. The usual age range for CO2 is 11-23).

There are lots of parts for all ages within this range, but for the school children parts we will specifically be looking for young people aged 9-14, who are under 5ft and can play guitar, bass guitar, drums or keys/piano to a good standard.

You can view our Pre-audition Information here 

If you have any further questions you can contact CO2 here
