Little Women WORKSHOPS AND AUDITIONS
|
Louisa May Alcott’s famous classic story of the adventures of the four March sisters is brought to vivid musical life in 'Little Women.'
The story follows the lives, loves, tribulations and strong sisterhood of the sisters growing up during the American Civil War. Brassy, tomboy and aspiring writer Jo; romantic Meg; pretentious Amy and kind-hearted Beth live in Massachusetts with their ‘Marmee’ while their father is on the battlefield. Filled with adventure (both real and imagined), heartbreak, and a deep sense of hope, the struggle of these 'Little Women' to find their own voices mirrors the growing pains of a young America. The powerful score soars with heartache, hope and buoyant, joyful melodies and offers wonderful opportunities for male and female actor/singers ranging from teenage to 60 years old. This beautiful show requires a small, intimate cast of 10, for which workshops will be held on Monday 21 and Friday 25 June, with Auditions to be held on Sunday 27 June. Those interested in auditioning can get audition material at the workshops. A cast read through and discussion will then be held on Monday 28 and Wednesday 30 June, with rehearsals due to start in early to mid August. Rehearsals will be on Mondays and Wednesdays, with Fridays added from October, and the show will be performed at Bridgwater Arts Centre from Monday 22 – Saturday 27 November. The show will be Directed by long-time friend and cast member of BOS – Phil Turley, assisted and Choregraphed by Lucy Edwards, and with Musical Direction by Ros Dolding.
