A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO TOOK PART IN THE RECENT MAYORS CHARITY SHOWCASE AT THE CIVIC THEATRE ON 16 TH MARCH. YOU ALL DID REALLY WELL AND AS USUAL OUTSHONE THE REST! THIS HAD A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE TICKET SALES FOR SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE

42 nd STREET

Our next production will be the toe tapping musical 42 nd Street to celebrate our 40 th anniversary to be performed at the Civic Theatre from Tuesday 11 th November – Saturday 15 th November 2008. If you are interested in auditioning, there will be a one off show fee of £40 which includes the hire of your script that must be paid when you register. Unsuccessful applicants will have their fee returned to them. This must be paid by cheque made payable to CYGAMS (a separate cheque for each member please) AND MUST BE PAID ON THE AUDITION DAY-NO PAYMENT MEANS NO AUDITION!!! You must also have paid your £5 membership for this year.

 

TAP LESSONS WITH ROBYN

These lessons are open to all members whether intending to audition or not. However, this does not guarantee you a place in the cast. If you don't already own tap shoes please don't buy them before the auditions, try to borrow some. The total cost of these lessons will be £7.50 regardless of how many you attend.

Saturday 3 rd May 10am-2pm

Thursday 15 th May 7-30pm-10pm

Sunday 1 st June 1pm-5pm

Sunday 15 th June 10am-2pm

Thursday 19 th June 7-30pm-10pm

AUDITIONS Saturday 21 st June

Robyn will be setting the audition routine during these lessons so if you are auditioning for a tap part it is vital you attend ALL of these dates!

 

42nd Street AUDITIONS

Registration will begin at 9-15am and

auditions will start promptly at 10am. This could be a long day so be prepared to wait and bring a packed lunch with you. We suggest you have a contact number that you can call when you are finished. You will be notified of the results later the same day.

DO NOT FORGET YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO AUDITION IF YOU HAVEN'T PAID YOUR £5 SUBSCRIPTION AND £40 SHOW FEE

AUDITION PIECES

You should have already received an email from Tony with character outlines. Audition pieces for those characters will be available shortly to download so keep checking your emails!

Some people find it helpful to costume themselves for an audition, but this doesn't have to cost a lot of money and will not influence the directors' decision, so just use your imagination!

Audition costumes will not be supplied by Young Gen.
