Casting
We strive to create an integrated, fair, transparent and professional casting process that engages with both emerging and established professional actors.
Casting at the Lyric is led and managed by the Lyric Casting Director, Clare Gault and involves the wider Lyric artistic team including the Executive Producer, Senior Producer, Production Assistant and Literary Manager. The Casting Director works with freelance Directors and where appropriate, Playwrights or Co-Producers.
Casting at the Lyric is in-house for the majority of roles and seeks to employ the very best available talent for every role. We have a responsibility to consider and cast where possible (and appropriate) native Irish performers and those based locally to the theatre but we also cast outside of this remit when the need arises.
We consider artists from diverse backgrounds and cast without prejudice in terms of the path performers have taken into the industry. We operate an inclusive approach to the casting of all roles and ensure that casting sessions take place at fully accessible venues.
