Who will wear the crystal slipper? Who will
sit at the Round Table?
This year, multi award-winning Durban
theatre company, KickstArt Theatre, is on the hunt for new talent!
In addition to finding an adult ensemble
for the forthcoming production of Lerner and Loewe’s magical classic musical, Camelot, the company is also looking for
an actress to play the title role of Cinderella
in this year’s Festive Season pantomime!
Director Steven Stead says, “We are looking
for a young actress aged between 16 and 26, with a sweet, strong voice, the
right look, and most importantly, the right personality to play Cinderella,
everybody’s favourite fairy tale heroine. We want someone warm, sincere and
lovable. She can be of any race group, and must be able to sing, dance and act
in English to a high level. Like the Prince in the story, I’ll know her when I
see her!”
Cinderella will rehearse from November 12 and perform through December at the
Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre, closing on January 6, 2019.
Anyone interested in auditioning should
send a recent headshot and CV to kickstart@letni.co.za.
Auditions will be held
on Saturday, February 3 between 10h00 and 17h00, and are by appointment only.
Call backs will be scheduled for later that week. Each applicant who gets a
slot should prepare a Disney song with a backing track, and prepare a short 1
minute monologue that will demonstrate acting ability.
The auditions for Cinderella and for Camelot
will be held at the Playhouse Company’s Mayville rehearsal studios, 78 Ramsay
Avenue, Mayville.
Auditions for CAMELOT will take place on Sunday, February 4. KickstArt is looking
for men and women, aged between 18 and 50 who can sing and dance, to play
featured knights, and courtiers in Camelot,
which takes place in the mythical court of King Arthur. All interested in
auditioning should arrive at 09h30 on February 4 to enter their names on a
list. You will be required to sing a song from a classic musical showing off
range (be it soprano, alto, tenor or bass) and with a backing track. Successful
applicants will then be asked to return in the afternoon for a group dance
audition, men and women separately.
Camelot will rehearse from April 22 2018 until May 16, and will run at the
Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre until June 3. It will be directed by Steven Stead,
with set designs by Greg King and costume designs by Terrence Bray.
