Audition
RoCo is looking for One Act Play options
For our first production of 2026 we plan to stage a selection of one act plays. We’d love your suggestions, whether for shows you’d like to see, or ones you’re interested in performing!
Please send us your suggestions by January 1st 2026. We’re looking for One Act plays ideally around 30 to 45 minutes long (with some flexibility for the right piece). Submissions should have relatively simple staging and be suitable for a PG audience and RoCo’s performance style. Beyond these guidelines, all genres are welcome, from Romance to Comedy, from Shakespeare to Stoppard.
The RoCo Committee will review all submissions and look to put together a programme. The number of plays included in the full programme will be dependent on the length of the options suggested, and chosen.
Cast & Directing Opportunities
While we are happy for you to simply submit plays for consideration, to be cast and produced by RoCo in our usual manner* - this is also a great opportunity for any budding directors and producers! You might even want to suggest a two-person play that you and a friend would like to perform together.
Please include in your submission any details about particular roles you would be interested in, though bear in mind this will be subject to RoCo Committee and Casting Committee decisions, as per usual.
* You do not need to be a RoCo member to audition for our productions, however if you are offered a role (and subsequently accept), you will be required to join the 'Friends of RoCo' annual membership if you have not already done so. More information on the membership can be found here
Further Production Roles
If getting on stage isn't your preference but you'd still like to be involved, we have a number of production roles we'd very much require assistance with!
Some of the areas we would very much welcome volunteers for, include; prompting, technical set-up and operating, hair & make-up, costume, props, furniture & set design, and various other Stage Crew duties. If you are willing and able to assist with any of these roles/areas, please do get in touch!
Performance Dates & Rehearsals
The March 2026 production performance dates will be confirmed soon. Rehearsals will commence once casting decisions are finalised following the Audition.
Submission & Audition Dates
Please submit your suggestions via our email; hello.rocodrama@gmail.com, or by using the contact form below by January 1st 2026. Include a short summary of the piece, including casting numbers, and what role/s you would be interested in yourself, for review by the RoCo Committee.
We will be holding an Audition on Thursday 8th January 2026 at 7:30pm. At this point we should have a shortlist of pieces we are looking to perform, with the final decision being made based on audition interest.
