Auditions – not as scary as you might think!

The auditions for our Spring productions are Thursday 19th at Quorn Village Hall and Tuesday 24th January at the community room in Quorn Old School (next door up from the Tearooms.) 

What will happen at the auditions?  Well, they will be relaxed affairs.  We will break into small groups to read through and act out extracts from the scripts together a few times before presenting it back.  If you’ve never been in one of our shows before, you will find the others welcoming, friendly and supportive. So come along and have a go!

There are parts for people of different ages.  Here are the characters – some can be played as male or female.
