How does anyone get a break?
Thu, 15 Mar 2001, 10:42 amI have a 14 year old daughter who is a great actress, has a fine singing voice, dances and loves theatre so much its her chosen career! The problem; there seems to be nothing in the way of amateur theatre for her to get any experience. All audition lisitings ask for older people or if they are looking for younsters it usually say over 16 years. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Fri, 16 Mar 2001, 11:08 amRoleystone Theatre have just finished their Junior Theatre Workshop for this year, in which we take kids that have little experience, or perhaps haven't been on stage ever before, and teach them the basics. This culminates in a two-night production of short plays, musical items etc. This years turn-out for auditions was so good, that we were forced to turn quite a few away. We did however try to make sure that those who didn't get in this year were our proven young actors, who are now ready for something more intensive than this workshop.
At the end of this year we are planning a Pantomime, which may very well have a spot on-stage for your daughter, even if it's in the chorus. I am also madly searching for a script to use for the ITA Youth Dramafest, as it appears I may well be directing Roleystone's offering (a scary thought). I will certainly be posting audition notices for both of these productions online.
If you have any queries, or would like to leave a contact number so I can call you if any positions come up, don't hesitate to call me on 9399 5276 or e-mail me at fnord@writeme.com and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
