Auditions for principal parts in our next show will be held at Whitefield Day Centre on Sunday 22 June between 14:30 and 18:00.
If you are interested in auditioning, you need to contact Lyn (01383 723633) for a slot.
As usual, auditions will be in front of a small Casting Committee, including the Musical Director (Eddie McLennan) and Producer (Peter MacFarlane). You need to be familiar with the relevant music and dialogue, but can work from score/libretto if you wish.
