Guildonians are now casting for 2024!

If you would like to audition for either of our upcoming shows then do come along! 

Our March play (performing 13-16 March) will be Out of Sight Out of Murder, by Fred Carmichael, a comedy murder mystery to be directed by Susie Faulkner.

‘Seeking inspiration for his next novel, struggling writer, Peter Knight, hires a spooky old house where another writer died “in mysterious circumstances”. An electrical storm knocks out the electricity, and suddenly Peter can see, and interact, with the stock characters he has created, some of whom may have murder in mind – but who is the intended victim and which one is the murderer in this mystery comedy?’

Roles (4m 5f)

Due to technical hitch, the character list with more information appears as a separate blog item!

Open auditions will be held on Wed 6 December at The Little Theatre, Harold Wood, from 8pm 

******************************************

Our June play (performing 12-15 June) will be Leading Ladies, by Ken Ludwig, a farcical comedy set in Philadelphia in 1952, to be directed by Chrissie O'Connor.

'Two down-on-their-luck English Shakespearean actors masquerade as ‘Maxine & Stephanie’ to claim an old American lady’s fortune – shades of Some Like It Hot meets Twelfth Night!'

Roles (5m 3f) (plus a few extras which are very small parts)

Due to technical hitch, the character list with more information appears as a separate blog item!

This play will be our entry for the 2024 Havering Drama Festival of full-length plays. 

Open auditions will be held on Mon 11 December The Little Theatre, Harold Wood, from 8pm 

There will be a ‘mop up’ session on Wed 13 December for anyone who cannot attend the earlier auditions, or for any additional try-outs the directors may need.
