Kanata Theatre: the 37^th season (2005-2006)

Audition Notice

Auditions for Staff Room will be held Monday, February 13^th and Tuesday, February 14^th 2006, at 7:30 p.m. in the rehearsal room of the Ron Maslin Playhouse. Please enter at the Stage Door at the rear of the Playhouse. If you are unable to make it to the audition and wish to be considered for a role, please contact the director,  before that date.

Rehearsals will begin on Thursday February 16^th.

Kanata Theatre will be giving Staff Room, by Joan Burrows, its second ever production. The first was chosen as Best Production at the 2004 Theatre Ontario Festival.

Staff Room consists of 15 very loosely connected vignettes, most of them comic, whose only real common thread is location, a secondary school staff room that could be anywhere in Ontario, even Kanata. The action unfolds over the space of roughly one term. There are 55 characters varying in age from mid teens to immediate pre retirement age. In our production they will be played by:

•  Four teenagers, two of each sex, and
• Eight adults, four of each sex, who should appear to be in their mid twenties to mid sixties.

The challenge will be to differentiate the characters. It should be a lot of fun. If you plan to audition please let me know. Scripts are available for loan.

Rebecca Shields is the Production Manager. If you would like to help with the production please give her a call.
