Performers and facilitators wanted for a sexual health theatre programme touring Aotearoa in 2026!

The Theatre In Health Education Trust is looking to audition facilitators/performers for the 2026 Tour of their sexual health theatre programme Sexwise. This tour marks the 37th year of the Sexwise programme, educating, starting conversations and creating better health outcomes for rangatahi.

Auditions will be held in Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland between the 6th and 9th of November this year. Auditionees must be 21 years of age or older.

Every year we seek performers who are committed to making quality theatre, who can think on their feet, and approach our subject matter in a self-assured, open and non-judgemental way. You will need to be secure with your own sexuality and totally accepting of others with a different sexual orientation, culture or religion from your own.
