SKUNGPOOMERY AUDITIONS



Deadline: October 3, 2014.

The Playhouse Company is holding auditions for professional performers to take part in its upcoming production of Skungpoomery, which will be staged daily in the Loft Theatre during the festive season.

Written by Ken Campbell and adapted by Anita Page, Skungpoomery - which means “thinking up words and doing them” - is described as a manic, anarchic, iconoclastic romp whose humour is buttressed with pratfalls, wild chases, absurd disguises and will appeal to young audiences.

The production will be directed by Ralph Lawson and will rehearse at the Playhouse from November 3 and will perform until the end of December.

Auditions will take place on October 7 between 14h00 and16h00 at The Playhouse Company rehearsal Room A1, 29 Acutt Street, Durban.

To secure an audition slot, prospective candidates should prepare a humorous poem or a short monologue and contact Sifiso Sikhakhane on 031369 9457 or email: artscoordinator@playhousecompany.com during office hours by October 3. Local performers from all communities are welcome!
