PRODUCTIONSWell done to everyone involved in making the “The Tailor of Auchterness” a success. The Vagina MonologuesThis is celebratory and humorous production, which will be performed in February as part of a wider international campaign to stop violence against women and girls. A local charity will receive the profit. As a story-telling event, a light touch is needed on rehearsals (4 or 5 needed) with the monologues read or referred to in the production. A cast of 3 to 10 women is required (we may reach out to a few notable non-members to read!) Please get involved in the production - on stage or back stage. Dates to note are: Monday 20.1.03 Reading at 7.30pm in the theatre Monday 27.1.03 Casting at 7.30pm in the theatre Thursday 20.2.03 Members night to preview and support Friday 21.2.03 Dress rehearsal (audience invited) Saturday 22.2.03 Performance Junior ProductionA junior production is intended for April 2003. Alyn Ross will be in touch with junior members shortly with further information. |
