The Bell Shakespeare Regional Performance Scholarship gives students in remote areas the chance to learn and perform Shakespeare with some of the most experienced Shakespearean actors in Australia.

The scholarship includes a week packed with masterclasses, backstage tours, tickets to live performances and a front row seat at Bell Shakespeare rehearsals, along with accommodation (accompanied by a parent or guardian), and the opportunity to perform a monologue for John Bell and a Bell Shakespeare cast.

Auditions take place from 4pm on Friday 30 July at Lismore City Hall, 1 Bounty St, Lismore. Visit the Bell Shakespeare website for details.
