Audition for "Ripcord" by David Lindsey-Abaire

Ripcord is a bit like The Odd Couple in that it centres around two characters who couldn’t be more different from one another. Abby and Marilyn, residents in a seniors’ living facility, are forced to share a room. While misanthropic Abby would rather prefer to live alone, her new roommate Marilyn turns out to be bubbly, bright, and almost unbearably cheerful. What ensues is a satirical battle for control, ranging from witty to slaptick-y, which deals with people's expectations of what it means to grow old in twenty-first century America.

Performance dates are from 19 February to 1 March 2025. The production will be directed by Mathilde Berry.

You won’t have to prepare anything for the audition.

Audition for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"

We are planning to perform Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” from 5 to 8 and 12 to 15 June 2024.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Audition sides available on audition days in clubhouse.
