Please note if you are new to the group and wish to apply for a main character, please bring along with you something to sing, either sheet music or backing track. Otherwise, auditions will consist of dialogue only. We are a friendly group and invite all new members to audition – it is not a daunting experience and we are all there to enjoy ourselves so don’t be put off by the word “audition”.
