The Crowborough Players
Pantomime 2022 - Cast auditions and crew meets
Treasure Island Ahoy there! The good ship Walrus is casting off from Crowborough to Treasure Island this Christmas! There are plenty of opportunities to get on board! Performances are on the 9th, 10th, and 11th December. Times TBC. Come along and get involved off-stage as crew or on-stage as cast! Crew Crewing is looking after everything from set painting to front of house, including props, lighting, sound, curtains, costumes, hair, make-up, and set moving! There are roles to suit everyone, with varied time commitments and no experience needed! Drop us a line (hello@thecrowboroughplayers.com) to tell us you're interested. Cast We are lucky to have some flexibility with our script and characters, so we do our best to get everyone who wants to be on stage up there! Auditions can be terribly nerve-racking even for the the most seasoned performer. With that in mind, we make them as relaxed and fun as possible, so don't let the word "audition" put you off! Auditions: Thursday 8th September - 7.30-9.30pm and Sunday 11th September - 4-6pm Relaxed auditions for Adults (age 16yrs+) and any Senior Youth Cast (12-15yrs) who want an 'adult rehearsal part'*. Initial chat at 7.30pm or 4pm, followed by group or individual auditions. You can leave after your audition, but there may be some waiting around. * A parent must attend the first 10 minutes of the audition to be briefed on rehearsal commitments and sign a permission form. Notes:
Additional info for singers Solo or duet singers We'd like anyone who would be comfortable singing solo in this year's panto to prepare a song (anything at all!) to perform in your audition. Bring a backing track on your phone or via a youtube link. Don't worry about doing a whole song, 60 seconds or so would be enough. Singing auditions for solos or duets will only be on Sunday 11th. If you are unavailable on this date, please record a video of yourself singing to a backing track and send it to hello@thecrowboroughplayers.com by Saturday 10th. Chorus singers Everyone else will be asked to sing 'What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor' in groups, which we hope everyone knows. We will be group-singing on both audition dates, 8th and 11th September. Don't-make-me-sing singers If you really don't want to sing that is also OK! Junior workshop and all-age dance audition: Sunday 18th September - 4-6pm Workshop Junior Youth Cast (6-11yrs) and any under-16s who want Sunday-afternoon-only panto rehearsals, plus anyone interested in dancing in the panto. The junior workshop isn't an 'audition' - we workshop scenes and roles and discuss in small groups or pairs what role every junior actor wants to do. Everyone who turns up and wants to be in the panto is guaranteed to be in it! This workshop may overrun slightly depending on numbers. Dance audition Unlike the junior workshop, this is an audition. Come along in appropriate dance clothing and footwear. Please note that the adult and junior cast also do some more limited choreography so if you fancy giving some light dancing a go, you can join this without a dance audition! Note: Parents or guardians, please come to the parent information session at 4pm for 15 minutes. There will be permission forms to complete there. These roles do not have evening rehearsals but the actual performances are in the evenings. Treasure Island panto 2022
