URGENT MELBOURNE CASTING - Miss Prism - The Importance of Being Earnest

A thoroughly enjoyable role in a thoroughly enjoyable show with a thoroughly enjoyable community and cast and crew, featuring in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival at Chapel Off Chapel! We are urgently seeking an enthusiastic and experienced actor to play the role of Miss Prism, Cecily’s slightly aged and ever-so-slightly air-headed tutor. Very proper and moralistic, Miss Prism is not so secretly in love with Dr Chasuble. Back by very popular demand, Candlelight Productions is proud to present a follow-up season of The Importance of Being Earnest - The Complete Bunbury Experience, for the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival! The actor to play Miss Prism will ideally be aged over 40 and will need to learn the role very quickly and easily slip into the community of the existing cast and crew. RP accent essential. Auditions will BE HELD AT 3PM ON Sunday 16 December at a venue to be confirmed. Rehearsals (likely to be in the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne) will begin in the week starting February 18th with eight performances March 25th - April 6th 2008. Please send your acting CV and a headshot (professional or not) to Matt Hammond - director@candlelightproductions.com.au. All inquiries to this e-mail address or to Matt on 0418 140 326. Having performed to sell-out houses and rave audience reviews in August 2007, The Importance of Being Earnest will feature in the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, with a bigger and better season of entertainment at the renowned venue of Chapel Off Chapel. The cast and crew are a heap of fun and thoroughly looking forward to doing a second season of the show. A fantastic group to work with and a fantastic show to perform in. This is an UNPAID production but of a professional standard. The performance is unique in that it aims to give the audience a complete experience of the world in which the play is set. To this end, the audience have the chance to play croquet, dine on tea and cucumber sandwiches, waltz to live period music, and take etiquette and elocution lessons.
