Our April production will be Sive by John B. Keane, directed by Kevin O'Malley.
Auditions will be held in Room 7 of the Little Theatre on Friday 9th January (9 - 10.30pm) and Sunday morning 11th January (11 - 1). Rehearsals will be Tuesdays, Thursdays (8-10) and Sunday mornings (11-1). For January only, Tuesday's rehearsals will take place on Mondays. To help Kevin compare, contrast and match, it is important that you attend both auditions. Thank you
Performances: April 8th - 18th.
If you would like to have a look at the script before January, please contact me by email or phone (087 2955 950). Please specify if you want a highlighted one (for a particular character) or an unmarked one.
