An amateur theatre company in Salisbury is seeking a young male actor to complete the cast in its upcoming production of Little Women.

Studio Theatre, in Ashley Road, will be bringing the Louisa May Alcott classic coming-of-age novel to the stage in early December and is looking for a young man between the ages of about 20 to 35 to play the part of the tutor John Brooke.

Set during the American Civil War, Little Women follows the lives of the four March sisters – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy – and details their passage from childhood to womanhood.

Adapted for stage by Emma Reeves, the Studio Theatre production is being directed by Anthony von Roretz and Jill Redston.

The play is set to run from December 9 to 14.

Most of the cast have already been selected and, with rehearsals set to begin soon, any young actors interested in this important supporting role can get in touch by emailing chair@studiotheatre.org.uk
