Its fair to say that the world has been a pretty scary place this past few years and the theme of sexual harassment has been a big talking point, especially in the arts!
Can we do something about it? The answer is yes and one person doing all he can to help point the spotlight on right and wrong on this taboo subject is Joseph Meighan. Joe is performing up and down the country teaching 16-18 year olds about sexual harassment and assault as part of the Dolls Eye Theatre productions.
The productions have been received so well that even Channel 5 News covered it:
Check out this great article about the impact this great piece of theatre is having: https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/wjgaqz/this-drama-workshop-is-teaching-kids-about-sexual-harassmentand-how-to-challenge-it?utm_source=broadlyfbus
Well done Joe! From all of us here at RD Casting, we really couldn't be prouder of you doing your bit to combat this tough subject.

Founder and owner of RD Casting, Michael Moor, is gearing up for an exciting start to the week as he puts his final preparations in place for the Monologue Slam UK Finals event which he will be attending as a VIP on 11th December at Theatre Royal Stratford East.

The 4th December was a day to remember as the Actor Awareness Annual Showcase took place in Leicester Square.
This was a particularly special night for one of the RD Casting family, Emilia Marshall Lovsey. Emilia featured in the short play Our Big Love Story by Stephanie Silver as part of the annual showcase.
Actor Awareness is a campaign fighting for more equality, diversity and working class talent in the arts and aims to provide a community and voice for these disenfranchised groups. Their passion is to inspire talent from all backgrounds. As part of this mission they also create artistic opportunities and other support for actors, writers and directors who may have faced barriers in the industry.
It looks to have been a fantastic night and all for a great cause.
