Regular theatre–goers of 18 years of age or over are invited to apply to join the public panellists to judge 2015 Olivier Awards.
It is a year-long commitment starting in February and applicants select the category in which they would like to be involved from Theatre, Affiliate (smaller non-West End London theatres), Opera and Dance.
Being in easy reach of London is essential as panellists must commit to seeing all the eligible shows in the relevant category during the judging year; this can be 100 plays and musicals for Theatre and 30 performances in Opera.
Applications for the panels must be received by 20 January. The position is unpaid and expenses are not covered, though panellists usually receive a pair of complimentary tickets and a programme for each performance visited.
