Directed by [[Stuart Draper]]

Performances: Mon 3rd – Sun 16th December [[2007]], [[Bell Theatre]]

== Introduction ==
Arthur Laddin is a normal 16 year old boy, that is until a magic ring transports him into the Land of Dreams where Anything Can Happen. A case of mistaken identity sees him assume the role of Aladdin: he must find the magic lamp, release the Genie and do battle with the Evil Vizier Abanazer.
<P>
Aided and abetted by the hapless Wishee Washee, a truculent Widow Twankey and two of the campest policemen you have ever seen, Aladdin joins forces with the Genie and, together with his friends, takes on Abanazer for the battle to end all battles...
With fabulous period costumes, magical sets, and incredible special effects, this is the one panto you cannot afford to miss!
<BR>

The show runs Tuesday 4th December to Saturday 15th December 2007, with matinees on Saturday 8th, Sunday 9th and Saturday 15th. Evening performances start at 7.30pm. Matinee performances start at 2.30pm

Elegies for Angels, Punks and Raging Queens (2008)

2007-11-22T10:51:45Z

80.176.206.18: /* Introduction */

[[Image:CHANGETHISNAME.jpg|thumb|300px|Poster by [[Poster Designer]]]]

music by [[Janet Hood]] and lyrics and additional text by [[Bill Russell]]

Directed by [[Ruth Huggett]]

Performances: Tue 21st - Sat 25th October [[2008]], [[Prompt Corner]]

== Introduction ==

Elegies is a collection of songs and monologues inspired by the AIDS memorial quilt - a memorial to the lives of people who have died of AIDS related causes.

Surprisingly the show is fun and serves as a '''celebration''' of the lives of people affected. The subject matter is dark and moving at times, but overall is presented with humour and joy.

'''
AUDITIONS'''
The cast is split between Actors and Singers:

Actors do not need to sing (although will join the final song).

Singers do not have to act (as in, they do not have scripted dialogue - their songs need to be presented in-character).

I will need 4 singers (1 Soprano, 1 Alto, 1 Tenor, 1 Bass) and up to 32 Actors.

Auditions will be held on:
'''Singers''' by appointment only Sunday 1st June 2pm - 5pm

'''Actors''' open calls, at SLT Wednesday 11th June 8pm
Thursday 12th June 8pm
Sunday 15th June 8pm

When cast, each character actor will be required at a limited number of rehearsals, singers need to dedicate more time. Rehearsal schedule is available now. For more information or to arrange a singing audition, please email me at knittingcorner@hotmail.com

Script will be available in the bar asap.

== Cast ==
I’ll be looking for a cast of 4 singers and up to 32 character actors (including 4 from youth theatre). The actors don’t need to be available for the full 2 month rehearsal period as characterisation will be developed on a one-to-one basis.

Auditions in June 2008, any questions please let me know, knittingcorner@hotmail.com
