Children & Young Performers

Our Children and Young Performers directory features casting details for children from the UK's leading theatre schools and agencies. It is the UK's definitive database of performers aged 5-20 and the best way for any young performer to promote themselves to casting opportunities. Please note we do not accept children under 5.

Recent productions which cast their child artists via Spotlight include films The Chronicles of Narnia and The Nutcracker; stage productions Billy Elliot, The Lion King, High School and Dick Whittington(Pantomine); television series My Family, Waterloo Road, Eastenders and Skins; and commercials for McDonalds, Heinz and Bisto – to name but a few!

How can my child join?

Only children who are represented by an agent or who attend stage schools who have previously contacted us are eligible for Spotlight membership, which is why we are the casting community's most trusted database of young performers.

Speak to your child's school or agent to arrange Spotlight membership, or email info@spotlight.com.

How much does it cost?

Membership for child artists is £88.00 (inc. VAT) for a whole year in Spotlight (2011-2012 edition). That's less than £1.65 per week for ongoing promotion to hundreds of casting opportunities.

Please Note: The 2010-2011 edition is now closed, contact us in March 2010 for details of the 2011-2012 edition.

How do I know my child's details are safe?

Access to Spotlight is only available to vetted casting and production teams. We never print or disclose personal details for any of our members.
