If you want to know a little more before you decide to audition, see the character descriptions and the rehearsal schedule.

Welcome talk - Not mandatory to attend in order to audition

Venue: Christ Church, Reading Road, Chineham, RG24 8LT

Pre-audition workshops - Mandatory to attend in order to audition. You must pre-book online
Due to the nature of this show, these workshops are an integral part of the audition process. You must attend one pre-audition workshop to be able to audition. If you cannot attend any pre-audition workshops, you will not be allowed to audition. See below for details of each workshop.

• Those auditioning for Ensemble can book onto any one of the four pre-audition workshops.

• Those auditioning for a Principal character should book onto the one pre-audition workshop for that character. If you cannot attend the specific workshop for the Principal character, you may still attend one of the other workshops. However, materials specific to the Principal character that you missed will not be covered at the other workshop.

Once you have paid your membership, login to the members area of the website to pre-book your ‘class’ using the online booking calendar. Note: the calendar does not show class dates that are more than 4 weeks in the future. So you may need to check back if your date is not visible.

The four pre-audition workshops will take place at Christ Church, Reading Road, Chineham, RG24 8LT.
