Auditions tend to be quite straightforward, with little
preparation required and are usually organised to fit in with the previous
show's rehearsals. Therefore they cannot always be advertised far in advance.
To be sure of getting involved, please contact
us as soon as possible if you are at all interested. The auditions
are held at our venue in Wandsworth. Occasionally, the director will hold
private auditions if the audition date is inconvenient. Rehearsals are
held twice a week - click here

"Wit" by Margaret Edson We will be auditioning the show on 29 June at 6.30pm in St Anne's Hall. If you can commit to the play and like the script then please do audition – the journey is going to be an interesting and rewarding one If in any doubt please feel free to contact Mike Ainsworth or Orna Joseph to discuss the play. They will be happy to advise you on what parts you may wish to audition for. If you're considering joining or don't know their contact details please email us on secretary@newstagers.co.uk and we'll put you in touch.
If anyone wants to join us then please do get in touch. It would be great to get stage management sorted and I’d be very interested in anyone who has an expertise in using video cameras. The play http://faculty.smu.edu/tmayo/witguide.htm Whilst the play deals with its topic head on, it’s a play full of warmth and humour that despite ending with the death of the lead character is one of the most life affirming pieces of theatre I have come across. The characters Ways of working and a note about “the chorus” This show is going to take a lot of hard work to pull off successfully. Its dealing with a tough subject matter in a professional venue and I want a production that does justice to a fantastic piece of writing. I will be using warm ups, improvisation and physical theatre extensively during the rehearsal period. I do not want a show that stands or falls on the performance given by the lead actress. I want to create her vision of the world with an imaginative use of the chorus. Performers in the chorus will be on stage or in the auditorium throughout the production creating Vivian’s world. So while the chorus do not have many lines they will be integral to the piece. Similarly the other named characters each present specific challenges that I want to work on during the rehearsal period. Although rehearsals will be challenging, they will hopefully be enjoyable with a chance for people to learn new skills, meet new people and generally work together as a team to build something amazing. Finally we will be experimenting with technology during the production from the use of “white noise” to projecting live images to monitors in the theatre. Thanks Mike Ainsworth | |||||
