Message from our chairman:

 

On behalf of the audition panel I would like to congratulate everyone for their auditions. May I remind you that ALL parts are subject to satisfactory attendance at rehearsals, continuous and sustained development and performance of the roles during the rehearsal period. If the Society, as the shows producers and the Production Team feel that you are not maintaining an acceptable level of commitment or performance during the rehearsal process, we reserve the right to revise the casting as appropriate.

We understand that some of you may be disappointed that you did not get cast in your preferred role but assure you that when casting the production our aim is to provide a balanced and complementary cast for the entire piece. If however you feel that you are unable to give the role you have been given 100% and wish to withdraw from the production for that or any other reason, please let us know as soon as possible. Any queries regarding any aspect of your involvement should be directed towards the society Executive Committee via the Secretary NOT the Production Team. Liz can be emailed at colint139@btinternet.com or phoned on 01206 262664.

I am very happy that we were presented with such an array of talent and confident that our production of Jekyll & Hyde will be an outstanding artistic success. Please note that David and Geoff will be speaking to some of you individually regarding your successful audition. I am also happy to confirm that Amanda Powell will be joining the production team as Directors Assistant for this production.

Katie will be setting up a closed facebook group for those cast and involved with this show as an online forum for information and communication purposes.  If you have any queries concerning this please contact Katie by email -ktmate1981@gmail.com.

Best Wishes
