Find cast & crew
Connect performers, directors and technicians with productions and projects in Manchester.
If you're producing a play, directing a short film, or putting together a dance piece, MCR.CITY's cast and crew network helps you find local talent. Performers, designers, lighting technicians, stage managers, and crew all have profiles listing their experience and specialties. You can search by discipline - actors, directors, choreographers, designers, or technical roles. Profiles show previous work, training, and contact information so you can reach out directly.
The other direction works too. If you're a performer looking for work, you can set up a profile showcasing your experience and what you're available for. Directors and producers searching for talent will find you. It's more direct than posting to generic job boards because everyone on the network is based in Manchester and understands the local scene.
The system helps with production logistics beyond just casting. You can post technical requirements for your project - number of rehearsal days, whether it pays or is unpaid experience, whether it involves outdoor work or late hours. Crew can filter for what matches their schedule. It saves back-and-forth emails about whether someone can actually commit to your timeline.
