Westville Theatre Club is excited to announce that auditions
for their next production unPlugged –
The Musical will be held tomorrow (June 18) from 12h00, and Monday (June 19)
from 18h00 at the Westville Theatre Club, adjacent to Westville Swimming Pool.
UnPlugged is
inspired by the music of The Bee Gees, Simon and Garfunkel, and Crosby, Stills
and Nash and songs of these artists will feature throughout. The theme of the
musical is a mixture of a touch of comedy, real-life situations and of course,
love!
Producer and scriptwriter, Daniel Oosthuizen is no stranger
to theatre having been actively involved with the Franklin Players based in
Roosevelt, Johannesburg since 2007 and more recently, the Westville Theatre
Club’s One Act Play Festival.
Says Daniel: “For our casting we need a variety of
characters and personality types – there will be room for additional characters
to grow should the actors create a need thereof. Although we primarily require
singers, there is room for actors who feel like they would like to feature in
non-singing roles (a little bit of singing wouldn’t hurt!). There will be
minimal choreography, although there will be numbers that will focus and
feature only on the stronger dancers.”
Those interested in auditioning should prepare any song of
their choice (of any artist) to show their singing abilities and bring their
own backtracks or musical accompaniment. If assistance with backtracks is
needed, please contact Daniel before the audition for backtracks.
All ages are welcome (12 to 92) as the story has your
typical character types, for a variety of actors or singers to choose from.
From the love-struck romantic, typical jock, good old-fashioned married
couples, superficial narcissist, the celebrity, the comic, typical blond and
even a narrator!
Show dates will be August 25 to 27 and August 31 to September
2. Rehearsals will take place throughout June, July and August 2017, and will
be mainly on Sundays (afternoon and/or evenings) with occasional weekly
individual rehearsal nights.
Everybody is invited to participate in this fun-filled
experience – not only does it create an opportunity for you to be on stage and
shine, but the whole project inspires new social activities and new friendships
– It’s the journey, not the destination!
