Wellingborough agency on the lookout for talented children for film, TV and theatre roles

A Wellingborough talent agency and performing art school is to host auditions for young people looking for a chance to step into the limelight.

LDPA Agency, part of Lucie Downer Performing Arts, is a children's talent agency looking to sign up the stars of stage and screen of the future with open auditions.

Lucie Downer, founder of Lucie Downer Performing Arts and LDPA Agency, spent ten years of her career performing in London's West End in shows, Grease, Love Never Dies, Joseph, Love Never Dies, Starlight Express and Legally Blonde.

She said: "After making many contacts within the industry, I now run LDPA Agency alongside my performing arts school of which has over 150 students.

"We are a small boutique agency that keep our books small so that we can give quality time to each client's potential.

"We have clients who have attended castings for TV Dramas on Netflix, ITV and Amazon Prime, TV programmes with CBeebies and films with Disney, also a large number of commercials for Robinsons, Pedigree and the NSPCC.

"Most recently, some of our clients auditioned for Mary Poppins in the West End as theatres are starting to reopen in the summer."

LDPA Agency represents actors aged from four years old to 24, and specialises in film, TV and theatre work, together with voice work and commercials.

She set up in 2016 using the Castle Theatre as her base but in December 2019 moved into her new teaching complex in Saxon Court off Bradfield Close in Wellingborough.

Lucie added: "We also help to develop actors’ performing arts talent where appropriate. The agency works in association with Lucie Downer Performing Arts, however the agency’s books are open to LDPA students and non-LDPA students alike - it’s not necessary to attend classes in order to join the agency."

Auditions will take place at the studios in Wellingborough on Sunday, April 25 at Lucie Downer Performing Arts, 4, Saxon Court, Bradfield Close, Wellingborough, NN84RQ.
