Audition
RoCo are holding an audition for our next am-dram production
RoCo will be holding an audition for our next am-dram production, which will be staged in November 2025. All are welcome to audition, including RoCo members and newcomers alike* (aged 17+).
RoCo's Andrew Lamb has volunteered to direct the production.
* You do not need to be a RoCo member to audition for our productions, however if you are offered a role (and subsequently accept), you will be required to join the 'Friends of RoCo' annual membership if you have not already done so. More information on the membership can be found here
The Plays We Are Looking At...
The two plays that are under consideration for our November production, are; Jane Austen's Sense & Sensibility adapted by Jessica Swale, and Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.
The Audition
At RoCo's auditions, attendee's are given samples from the scripts, and everyone will have the opportunity to take it in turns reading for a variety of characters.
For this audition; participants who wish to be considered for a leading role or to audition for a particular character from either play, will also be asked to prepare an audition piece to perform.
Please take some time to read through the various documents in the Audition Pack, as there is a lot of useful information to assist you ahead of the audition, and also with preparing your audition pieces. You will be able to read up on the two plays, the various roles to be cast, as well as the director's notes and initial ideas for the production.
Once you've read through everything and you're ready to do so, fill in and submit your Audition RSVP Form (included in the Audition Pack), then get working on your audition pieces!
