About Everybody’s Talking About Jamie: “16-year-old Jamie New doesn’t quite fit in. Instead of pursuing a traditional career, he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure – he’s going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mother and amazing friends, Jamie overcomes discrimination and bullying to step out of the darkness – and into the spotlight.”
FCT say:“This production requires a versatile cast therefore we are on the hunt for a talented, energetic and fabulous company. We are particularly keen to hear from members of the LGBTQ+ community. As well as young performers of all ethnicities to help build a diverse company for this production.”
