Seeking men and more men!
Wed, 1 Nov 2006, 09:49 pmAuditions for Melville's first production for 2007 - Pride and Prejudice are coming up on Saturday 18th November at 2pm (theatre open from 1.30pm to register and skim read through audition scenes.
I have had a brilliant response from women interested, which is good; I need a lot of women. I've had very little response from men. I am hoping this is because they just didn't want to respond but that they are actually planning on turning up. I need a dark, brooding but very sexy Mr Darcy. A bright, friendly, cheerful Mr Bingely, A charming but devious Mr Wickham, A foolish, simpering Mr Collins (a brilliant role to play) and of course the wonderful Mr Bennet with his dry humour and disdainful looks at his wife.
It should be a great show and you can guarantee half the audience will be in love with you just for appearing on stage in those tights pants!
I'd love to have loads of wonderful men to choose from.
Be brave - it made Colin Firth a sex symbol for millions!
Here's hoping I'm inundated with replies from interested people!

Seeking men and more men
Vanessa, a hard fact of Perth's theatrical life. the Men don't audition these days, they wait to be asked to do a role. As they are in such short supply , anyone who can at least walk across the stage without falling over the furniture is virtually assured of a role some where so you'll just have to join the queue!!

Costume drama
Most men don't like appearing in costume dramas really.

Jeff, I believe the season
Jeff,
I believe the season is during Feb or March. I was thinking of auditioning, but getting a day off work on a Saturday is a painful and unlikely reality. You should however, I think this play would suit you and from the one show I have seen of Venessa she is a capable director.

I appreciate the sentiment Dan ;-) Sadly, the very reason I ask is that I shall not be able to partake in any shows that require either performance of rehearsal during the month of Jan. I will be otherwise engaged.
Pity really, it is a great show to be a part of.
