The current cast list can be downloaded from here.
Welcome to the new season and I am happy to tell you that our show this year is "West Side Story' which we are performing at the Lyceum Theatre w/c 7 November 2011. We are pleased that Dee, Anna and Claire will be on the production team for another very exciting year. Full details are in the Welcome Pack.
Our first rehearsal will be held on Friday 3rd June at Wesley Hall, starting at 7.30pm, with audition day on Sunday 19th June at Ecclesall Junior School starting at 10am, for everyone wanting to be in the show, and principal auditions afterwards. There is an additional rehearsal on Tuesday 14th June at Abbeydale Picture House when the audition dance routine will be set.
The rehearsal schedule can be downloaded by clicking here. We ask for commitment to the rehearsals this year, as in some of the numbers, you will be partnered with another member, so it is unfair if you are missing. We will ask you to fill in a form before audition day, stating your holidays and other shows that you are appearing in.
Looking forward to seeing you in June,
Judy McMurray - Secretary.
