Audition Update!

David writes on behalf of the audition team: “Massive thanks to all the 63 who came to the auditions yesterday, plus the other 4 who are still to audition yet as they couldn’t get there. We were blown away by the talent on display, lots of great new members to the ensemble too. Apologies for the long wait for some. Now a certain amount of work on the draft script is required as Sleeping Beauty is wide awake! We’ll be in touch with the casting soonest !”

Auditions for Sleeping Beauty

Leave a comment

Yes, it will be pantomime again this December (Oh no it won’t ! – Oh yes it will !) when the Stage Door serves up another fun-filled fantasy. This year it’s that tale of the Princess who falls asleep after pricking her hand on a spindle,cursed by the wicked witch.Then she is woken up by the kiss of a Prince.

There are lots of great parts, of course. Many of which have never been heard of in the original version! Plus music and song (and a little choreography too!).

Auditions will be on 8 September, 2pm at the Turner Centre.
Performances at the Turner Centre December 13-15.

Directed by David Crewe

A BIG TASK AHEAD

We were all taken aback by community support for our upcoming Pantomime, Robin Hood & The Babes in the Wood, when over 80 budding actors and actresses showed up at our Audition Call on Sunday! Thank you to all those who came. We’re making our way through the applicants and will soon be in touch to assign roles.

In the meantime, tickets went on sale at the Turner Centre Box Office at the weekend.

Performances will be:

7:30pm, Thursday, 22 November

7:30pm, Friday, 23 November

7:30pm & 2:00pm, Saturday, 24 November

4:00pm, Sunday, 25 November

Kickstart the festive season with a trip to this hilarious traditional pantomime. As Robin and his Merry Men and Maids tackle the wicked Sheriff (Boo!), Robin’s young followers The Hoodies are up to their tricks. Red Riding Hood has wandered into the wrong pantomime followed by the Wolf (it’s behind you!), and the two naughty Babes are giving problems to their nurse, Dame Droopydrawers. Written and Directed by David Crewe for The Stage Door theatre company with a cast of local talent of all ages, this is community theatre at its best.
