Crazy how quickly time flies because can you believe it? It’s panto audition time already!

This year we are delighted to present an original musical play written and directed by our very own Rod Lander, The Critters’ Revenge. Set in an idyllic village beset by a deluge of dastardly developers hell-bent on turning it into a Gold Coast-style resort town complete with casino, this fun caper pits the local villagers, gardeners, and nature’s-own tiny critters against an army of blood-sucking lawyers, hapless councillors and ne’er-do-wells in a David and Goliath fable for the ages!

With original music and lyrics by Rod Lander, director of our Singers group, who just celebrated 40 years of harmonising together – if you enjoyed that, this is right up your alley.

Auditions were to be held on 22 August, 7-9pm (at Hillcrest House, 1 Railway Crescent, Stanwell Park) and Sunday, 3 September, 12-2pm (at CWA Hall, Stanwell Park). If you are reading this in the weeks after these dates and have missed out, get in touch at spartstheatre@gmail.com! We may still be looking for the right fit. If you simply can’t make it to either of the auditions, get in touch as we may be able to organise a video audition.

We will be looking for adults of all ages for the main roles, and a children’s chorus. All main roles require singing ability. We are also seeking a stage manager and volunteers to assist with costumes, sets, props, lighting and front of house.

Any adults aged 18+ will need to have a valid Working with Children Check to participate.

All the information you need can be found at www.spat.org.au where you will find an downloadable pack with performance dates and links to help you get audition-ready. Chookas!
