Could you be our Ray?

For our production of 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲’𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐞 this October at the Grand Opera House York, we’re looking to cast the role of Ray with authenticity at its heart.

We are specifically seeking a British–South Asian performer to bring this role to life.

A strong actress and vocalist, Ray is the best friend to Jamie’s mum. Sharp, loyal, funny and full of heart.

A standout role with real presence on stage.

If this sounds like you, or someone you know, we’d love to hear from you.

We particularly welcome enquiries from Vintage, Retro, Automobile & Motorcycle paraphernalia, 30's - 60's merch etc that tie in with the spirit of the unique phenomenon that is Race The Waves and the era of speed, innovation, fashion and living.

(ps: the simple reason why dates change each year is because Race The Waves is dependent on tides to enable maximum time for racing on the beach, and the availability of the beautiful Brid Spa to coincide!)
