Cardiff’s very first pub theatre looks set to launch the careers of talented thespians.

The Other Room (TOR), in partnership with Porter’s bar, will be turning the latter’s cinema room into a professional theatre space.

Determined to showcase the best Welsh talent, TOR will be producing exciting new work whilst reviving modern texts from the last 50 years.

Script writers can pitch TOR ideas, while the company’s open auditions will discover fresh acting talent.

Assistant director, Chelsey Gillard, 23, said, “Nowhere else in Cardiff does this on a regular basis; we really want to give people a chance to show us their skills.

“So many people train in Cardiff and then run off to London. We want to be another reason to keep the best talent in Wales.”

Sparkling with success: TOR’s founders, artistic director, Kate Wasserberg and executive director, Elizabeth ‘Bizzy’ Day, are pictured with Dan Porter and David Wilson, the owners of Porter’s.
