Auditions

The show must go on - but it only if there's someone to go on stage!

We'll gather up all the open audition info we can from local theatres and other performing troupes in Reading and share them on this page. And maybe you'll get your shot in the spotlight!

Calendar Girls by Gary Barlow and TIm Firth

The death of a much loved husband prompts a group of ordinary women in a small Yorkshire Women's Institute to do an extraordinary thing. Blasting away all preconceptions of what it is to be in a Women's Institute, they decide to do an artistic nude calendar to raise money for charity. Upturning preconceptions is a dangerous business and none of them expect the emotional and personal ramifications, but gradually the making of the fabulous and funny calendar brings each woman unexpectedly into flower.

Performance dates: 3rd, 4th, 9th, 10th & 11th October

Auditions will have a slightly different format than usual and will be in 2 parts:

Singing Auditions: Monday 12th May 7.30-10.00pm
Acting Auditions: Sunday 18th May 2.30–5.30pm

If you can’t make either / both dates, don’t worry we can make other arrangements, but please let us know as soon as possible
