Open auditions for principal roles in Christchurch Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s next production of The Yeomen of the Guard will be held on Thursday 20 March 20 from 7:30pm at Christchurch Junior School (CJS), Clarendon Road, Christchurch, BH23 2AA. By open, we mean open to everyone and the auditions will themselves be open, i.e. in front of all those attending the auditions, so that you have an audience to perform to!
Prior to the auditions, we will be singing through the music of the show, including the audition pieces, on Thursday 6 March and Thursday 13 March, from 7:30pm at CJS. Everyone is welcome to attend these sing-throughs to see if you like the show and want to join our society. Membership is not required to audition but it is required if you are offered and accept a principal part.
Please note: we do not audition to join our chorus, nor do you have to be able to read music. We are very welcoming and like to include people of all abilities. In the rare event that it transpires that someone simply cannot sing, we would gently and privately suggest that they look for an alternative hobby.
If you wish to audition for a part and/or wish to learn more about the show, please contact info@christchurchgands.org so that they can note your interest and send you the relevant information, or visit www.christchurchgands.org.
If you wish to audition but cannot make Thursday 20 March 20, there are limited audition slots on the following Thursday 27 March 27.
The show will be performed at the Regent, Christchurch, from Thursday 25 – Saturday 27 September. Performances are at 7:30pm each night and there is also a matinee at 2:30pm on Saturday 27 September.
Christchurch G&S Society look forward to seeing you!
