Out of Order by Ray Cooney
Read through – Tuesday 26th October 2021 Auditions 2nd & 4th November 2021 Performance: 16th to 19th February 2022
Anyone can audition for any part in Out of Order. What can you expect during an audition? Well it all depends on the Director. Typical auditions involve reading through the play or perhaps some improvisation work. Don’t feel comfortable with this? Talk to the Director beforehand. You may glean some ‘winning’ tips! Synopsis When Junior Minister Richard Willey plans to spend the evening with Jane Worthington (a typist for the Opposition) things go disastrously wrong starting with the discovery of a body trapped in the hotel’s only unreliable sash window. Desperate to get out of a sticky situation, Richard calls his PPS, George Pigden, to help. Richard’s lies sink him into further trouble. Things go from bad to worse with the arrival of Ronnie, Jane’s distraught husband. The addition of an unscrupulous waiter, Mrs Willey and Nurse Foster, things really come to a head. Award-winning, fast and furious masterful farce. Don’t expect an easy time in rehearsal. Farce is one of the most challenging genre to pull off but when it works, the audience go mad for it, and you will have great fun. (There is also a key backstage role of 'Chief Sash Window Operator')

PANTO IS BACK in 2022!
Bring a joke! It doesn't matter how bad a joke it is, we want to see how over-the-top and "panto" you can be and to hear your biggest voice. And to steal the best jokes for the script, of course! Contact Us
The story of Treasure Island - (the panto)! Jim Hawkins, our young hero, discovers a mysterious map showing the whereabouts of the buried treasure of infamous pirate Captain Flint. In his quest to recover the stolen loot he sets sail for Skeleton Island with a crew of desperate cut-throat pirates, a one legged man, three French cooks, a parrot and his mum! Join Jim and his Ma as they battle buccaneers, plundering pirates and marauding mermaids in this hilarious re-imagining of the most famous pirate story of them all - Treasure Island (the Panto)!
We will be rehearsing twice a week in the evening (probably Wed and Thur, ensemble not usually required for these) (7.30 – 9.30pm) and Sundays for all cast (3pm - 6pm), starting at the beginning of December.
The characters: Firstly we of course need an ensemble of silly, swashbuckling pirates and mermaids of all ages and sizes. Ensemble will be needed on Sunday afternoons only until the week before show week. Plus...
Main Characters : - will usually be needed two evening rehearsals each week plus Sundays
Jim Hawkins (m or f) (14+) - Son of Ma Hawkins and the young hero and adventurer of our story. Ms Arrow (f) (14+) - Second in command of the pirate ship; she is fierce and determined. Wants to get ahead and knows girls are best! Ma Hawkins (Sarah) (m) (The Dame) - Jim’s mother and Inn keeper at the Admiral Benbow. Loves her little Jimmy. Long John Silver (m or f) (20+) - Cook and loveable baddie. His first loves are treasure and food. But mostly treasure. Has a leg of wood and a dark side. The Three Daft Pirates: - will usually be needed one or two evening rehearsals each week plus Sundays Blind Pew (m or f) (14+) - Blind Pew (the worst assassin on the high seas). Accident prone. Gets more bandages by the day. Nerdy and a bit creepy. Leader of the three pirates Billy Bones (m or f) (older) - A salty old sea dog. Full of rum and and scared of his own shadow. Very deaf and uses an ear trumpet. The oldest of the three pirates Black Dog (m or f) (adult) - The maddest and cut throatiest pirate this side of the Bristol Sound. Not the brightest Buccaneer in the bunch. The thick one of the three pirates Other Characters: - will usually be needed one evening rehearsal each week plus Sundays Captain Brad Smellitt (m) (30+) - A proper ship’s Captain with an airline pilot's voice to match.

Spider’s Web by Agatha Christie
Read through – Tuesday 30th November 2021 Auditions – 4th & 6th January 2021 Performance: 18th to 21st May 2022
Clarissa, second wife of diplomat Henry Hailsham-Brown, is adept at spinning tales of adventure for the bored diplomatic circle. When a murder takes place in her drawing room she finds live drama harder to cope with (particularly as she suspects the murderer may be her step-daughter, Pippa). Worse still, the victim is the man who broke up Henry’s first marriage. Desperate to dispose of the body before her husband arrives with an important politician, she enlists the help of her guests. Clarissa’s fast talking places her in some hair-raising experiences as she comes to learn the facts are more terrifying than fiction! A conscious parody of the detective thriller, Christie delivers a unique blend of suspense and humour. Tension and laughter come equally in this intricate plot of murder, police, drug addicts, invisible ink, hidden doorways & secret drawers.
