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”. We look forward to seeing you soon and watch this space for further character details. Please check the dates of the performances below to ensure you are available for the show:
