"Play On!" by Rick Abbot

Picton Theatre Group is looking for actors for its upcoming show Play On! a Comedy by Rick Abbot. There is a cast of 10, ages ranging from late teens to late 50s. Don't miss out on being a part of this thoroughly enjoyable romp. You are in rehearsal, the play opens soon, the actors are squabbling, the tech is going awry, the author keeps rewriting. Does this sound like a recipe for a hit? Maybe not, but it is a recipe for side-splitting belly laughs. The opening night fulfils the old theatrical adage - if it can go wrong, it does. When a theatre group is offered a royalty-free play "Murder Most Foul" from new playwright Phyllis Montague, the group welcome the chance to put the theatre back into the black for the first time in years. The group tries desperately to put on the play, amid all kinds of maddening interference from its authoress, who keeps revising the script until almost opening night. During the actual performance anything that can go wrong does. Auditions will be held on Wednesday 8th April at 7:30pm at the Wollondilly Shire Hall, Menangle Road, Picton. If you are considering being a part of this show, you are strongly encouraged to contact show Director, Paul Channell, to receive an information pack prior to the audition evening. We would also like to hear from you if you are interested in helping out in other areas of show production – such as back-stage crew, sound and lighting, set design and construction or front-of-house. All welcome – newbies and old-hands! Information packs are available to those interested in auditioning for this hilarious show by contacting Paul on 0419 010 960 or email paulchan@poetic.com.
