Open Door – a charity supporting actors and creatives from low-income backgrounds to enter the industry – has announced it will soon run programmes in the north of England for the first time. 

The project will help aspiring actors audition for drama school, and has previously ran in the Midlands, London and Sheffield in 2022. The scheme restarted last year following a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. 

Actors aged 18 to 30 from the areas of greater Manchester, Merseyside, Warrington, West Yorkshire and the borough of Halton, as well as Essex, London and the South East, who are from low-income backgrounds are invited to attend.
