We are looking for an experienced male actor with good vocal control and experience for the role of Rick, performed as a television documentarian/voice-over in “The Shoe-Horn Sonata” by John Misto. Rick interviews the two protagonists, Sheila and Bridie, regarding their experiences in a Japanese P.O.W. camp, on the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII.

Our objective is to remain sensitive to the humanity and horrors of war and its effects on all involved, to act as a memorial and so all experiencing the production can learn from the past. For all questions about the content and presentation style of the play, please address our production’s director, Ian Zammit, as part of your application email, and he will get back to you directly.

Auditions will be held in Penrith on Wednesday evening, 9th February 2010. Auditions will require a short prepared monologue and will take part in a short improvisation workshop as an “interviewer”.

In your application please indicate which session you would prefer for your audition:
4pm-5pm
5pm-6pm
6pm-7pm
7pm-8pm

Please forward your headshot, resume and information to:
emuheightsprd@gmail.com

We will be in touch to confirm receipt of your details, along with session, location and audition information.

Thank you for your interest.

Kind regards
Michele Zammit,
