Always fancied trying your hand at acting? Now's your chance to sign up to our Radio Drama Workshop in September and join the amazing community members bringing 'The Wandsworth Way' radio drama to life.

Theatre503 and Riverside Radio have teamed up with Wandsworth Council to bring you 'The Wandsworth Way' in celebration of The Mayor of London naming Wandsworth London Borough of Culture 2025.

Running from Autumn 2025 through to April 2026, we're looking for non-professional, volunteer actors to make up part of our community cast in a radio serial drama with Wandsworth locals at its heart, accurately representing the lives of local people.

The project aims to capture the diversity of the borough in 2025, to highlight how culture can impact positive change in the lives of those living in Wandsworth. The narrative of the radio soap opera links to the London Borough of Culture programme's 5 key themes of Wandsworth’s London Borough of Culture year - the power of culture to connect, unite, heal, nourish and activate.

Who? This opportunity is open to anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Wandsworth and is 14 years of age or above.

When and Where? The acting workshop will take place on the evenings of Monday 29th September and Tuesday 30th September 2025, timings (TBC). Subsequent recording days will take place in Battersea throughout the year on Saturdays or Sundays mainly during school term times.

Depending on the story which emerges over the course of the year, some actors may be required for more or fewer recording days depending on their character. Please note, as we endeavour to make the show as diverse and expansive as possible, we will be unable to include every actor who attends the workshop in a future recording day.
