Our November production, Directed by Julia Rymer.
Following the information afternoon last month, I
am pleased to remind you about further dates leading up to the auditions for
this wonderful show. Audition pieces, plus the opportunity for a sing-through of
some of the musical numbers, will be available and, of course, a Q&A about the
production. A large cast is required to bring to life the most memorable and
award-winning musical score, set in an age when social class determined life’s
opportunities and, quite literally for
Titanic’s passengers,
survival. Who hasn’t heard of this great ship? Said to be ‘unsinkable’, a legend
in its’ own time, and to become a legend for all time. Be part of this
production, celebrate the lives of all who sailed with her during those fateful
days in 1912 and share an experience, which is emotionally moving, uplifting,
and inspiring a truly humbling a fictional journey about the real lives caught
up in this most historic tragedy. Believe me the experience is so good you’ll
never forget it. Look forward to seeing you soon.
