Final call! Men needed aged 16 (not in school) to 41 for a once in a lifetime opportunity!
Be part of a one-off, UK wide, large scale event which marks a moment in national history. It’s currently top secret but all will be revealed! On completion of the project, we’ll pay you expenses of £80. Recruitment session on Thursday 12 May 10am – 12pm at Oldham Coliseum Theatre.
Criteria for men taking part:
If you fit these criteria we need you!
We’re aware that the time commitment could be putting people off, and this has been the case nationally too. The national organisers have relaxed the rehearsal schedule so we’re able to offer a ‘fast track’ approach.
Participants need to be recruited and measured as soon as possible so there’s an additional recruitment session on Thursday 12 May 10am – 12pm at Oldham Coliseum Theatre.
