First rehearsal

First of all, many thanks to those of you have attended the auditions that have taken place over the last few weeks.

As I hope I made clear at the auditions, Underwych will involve all those who have expressed an interest in performing so we look forward to seeing you Sunday 20th May at 2.00 pm at the Lion Salt Works in Marston for the first rehearsal.

Even if you have not made the audition-workshop, it's still be possible to come along on Sunday and be part of the company.

Allocation of Roles

This will take place on Sunday. You will realise that there are many roles in the script and all involved will find themselves 'on stage' for most of the play. There will be specialist support for those members of the company who would like to learn skills such as juggling, puppetry, singing and dancing.

Rehearsal Schedule

We will be working on Underwych for six weeks from late May and early July. Anyone who has not got a schedule, please let us know. The directors will need to be made aware if there are times when you are unavailable.

Production Team

There is a team of directors, property makers and technical stage management who will be working with you. They will be introduced to you on Sunday afternoon. Of course, there is no reason why any actor can't also be involved in some of the making that will need to be done for the production. Just let us know on Sunday if you are interested.

Confirming Your Attendance

Please confirm your attendance with Mathilde via email: underwych@hotmail.co.uk so she can send you the final version of the script.

Really looking forward to seeing you next Sunday.

Regards

Robert

Next production team meeting

Hello,
we have a new date in our schedule for the next production team meeting, and it is Tuesday 15th May at 7.00pm at the Lion Salt Works in Marston.
The last meeting was well attended. We now have a team of directors, a technical stage manager and a designer, as well as a group of crafty people to work on set design, prop making, costume, sound effects, etc.
I hope you can join us.
Mathilde

Production in Progress

The Underwych auditions were well attended and we now have additional members. Robert is in the process of casting the parts for the revised script.
Next stage is our next production team on Wednesday 9/5 at 19:00 at the Lion Salt Works.
Robert’s script has got some fabulous ideas in it: wonky townscape, glittery mine décor, giant puppets and masks, Victoriana costumes, chandeliers, etc.
So you are interested in set design, prop making, costume making, lighting, directing, or any other aspect of theatre production, then please come and join us. And don't forget to bring a friend!
Til then
Mathilde
