Lydia, about to turn 30, finds her old diaries from when she was 10 years old. She reminisces about the hilarious mishaps of being on the precipice of puberty in the 00s, compared with the defining threshold of 30 in 2022. Sometimes you have to look back in order to move forward. The production will star its writers New Stagers Lydia Lewis and Rhonda Lidgold. They will be auditioning for a male actor to join the cast. Details of the role are below. The audition will take place at St Anne Hall at 8.15pm on Tuesday 13 September. Jack/Myles/Dad (Male, age 20-40) We are looking for someone with big physicality who can do a lot with just a few lines. This character will be many roles throughout. Needs to be able to bring a lot of humour while playing a moody heart throb, a socially conscious 10 year old and a classic awkward dad character. Musicality, movement and singing ability a plus. If you can play the guitar even better ( although not absolutely necessary). For more information/any questions please email: deardiarymusical@gmail.com
