Auditions are on 4 and 6 April 2012 in the Town Hall.

The audition pieces are attached to this news item. Please try to look at the pieces that are relevant to any character or characters which interest you. I shall also expect actors to have acquired their own copy of the script we are using.

 

The audition dates for Much Ado About Nothing will be: 4 and 6 APRIL at 7.30 pm in the Town Hall (upstairs). Details of the specific passages of the play that will be used at the auditions will be notified in due course. 

Rehearsals start on Sunday 22 April and, from then on, every Monday, Thursday and Sunday. Mondays and Thursdays will start at 7.30 prompt and Sundays at 2.30 prompt. A list of the characters required for each rehearsal will be shown on rehearsal schedule.

For  those of you who are keen to take part that the script version is ISBN 978-0-14-101230-8.

Please contact Barry Webb if you wish to be involved but cannot make the audition dates and I shall try to accommodate as best I can.

The annual dinner will be at The Grosvenor on Saturday 7th of January. I need to tell The Grosvenor who is coming and their choice of dishes by the 31st of December. So I have set up another Doodle poll. Click here to indicate your choices (you can also use it to check what you ordered and change it). If that is tricky then just e-mail or call me.

Like last year the meal will cost £14.95 which includes three courses but excludes wine. SADS will subsidise a welcome glass of Buck's Fizz or similar. The choices are:

First course: Field Mushroom (v) or Chicken Salad
Second course: Salmon or Beef or Cannelloni (v)
Third course: Apple Pie or Profiteroles or Cheese and Biscuits

Our next Tuesday evening session will have a Christmas theme and is being organised by Debbie Smart and Sarah Litton. If it is anything like last year it will be a terrific evening. However, just like last year, it clashes with Stockbridge Late Night Shopping (memo to chairman for next year - plan to avoid this!). It would be useful to Debbie and Sarah to know who will be unable to come or can only come late because of this. Then they can plan the evening round it. They are starting to plan the evening already - so please reply as soon as possible.

New idea: you can indicate if you are coming and roughly what time by clicking on this Doodle poll. I only just found out about Doodle polls. They are really, really easy to use. But if you have any problems just send an e-mail instead.
