Auditions

Firstly an apology: Sorry that this is fairly short notice; but as you probably realise we had problems casting The Crucible and needed to change our plans (not enough men - there's a limit to how far me and my beard can spread around).

So, from yesterday's committee meeting we have decided to do two related one act plays: 'Bazaar & Rummage' by Sue Townsend and 'Smalls Talk' by Sue & Clive Read. Each deal with a group of women working to improve the self-esteem on one of their group. We will think of some catch name for evening - though suggestions are more than welcome.

Auditions are on Monday 5th September at 8pm at Parkside - we need up to 12 women and 1 man for cast but we also need backstage staff, front of house, and so forth.

All are welcome, experiance or not (we all were innocent at one point!), members or not.

Characters:
Bazaar & Rummage

Margaret - a working-class vulgarian, agoraphobic for fifteen years.
Bell-Bell - an obsessionally clean agoraphobic, who plays the piano.
Fliss - a youngish trainee social worker.
Gwenda - a middle-aged volunteer social worker, an ex-agoraphobic.
Katrina - an agoragphobic, ex-variety 'songstress'.
WPC - a woman who is terrified of community policing.
Smalls Talk
Linda - Hostess, easy-going.
Rex - husband of Linda, a sly wimp.
Dawn - Lady Lace demonstrator, wet but persistent.
Tracy - young next-door-neighbour, innocently tactless.
Carol - Linda's sister, cynical, hard-bitten, a laugh.
Dot - older work colleague, dour.
Emma - workmate, pathetic, suffering from loss of husband.
