Boys keep swinging - Bannockburn (The final word on the search for actors)
Sat, 7 Feb 2009, 12:22 pmHello again. Those who read the blurbs posted on this site will be aware that A lad in sane productions are keen to secure actors for our forthcoming production.
To this end, we advertised for actors of the male variety. We secured a few, but not enough to make an army. We then thought, okay, no blokes available. Let us see if the girls want to take on a challenging role. Again, we have some interest.
In addition to the above, I've received a variety of enquires, and comments which makes me think I should clarify a few matters, so here we go..
Q: I saw your post asking for females to audition, can guys still audition?
A: YES! OF COURSE YOU CAN! We're not that inhumane that we'd send women into battle if guys were available!
Q: If you were playing locally, I'd consider auditioning.
A: That's dedication for yee! Note: The cast already signed on for Bannockburn, live all over Perth. For example. I live in Rivervale. I don't know aboot you, but If a theatre as good as the Phoenix offer an invitation for us to stut our stuff then we're bloody goin! PS: We may be able to offer you a lift. Being Scottish we like to car pool. Note: Let us know if you suffer car sickness before we tie you to the roofrack! PS: Just let us know the suburb your from, and we'll say yes or no.
Q:I'm interested in the role of 'Gerald', but my fat cells outweigh my muscle cells by 3-1! Does this count me out?
A: NO! IT DOES NOT! The brief description of the character is merely a guide.Give it a try! Convince us he should be a fat guy rather than a skinny man!
Q: I'd love to join you but I can't do a Scottish accent.
A: Solution. Join the English , and wear some padding in yer troosers!
Q:You'd get a better response if you put on a well know play.
A: Who brought along this idiot?
I think that about covers it! The next you'll hear from me is, news that we're either, in training for the battle, or we've decided 'bugger it' there's too many bloody English' let's throw in the towel.
