Emu Heights Productions

Two women, 40+
One man, 30+
Profit share agreement

For the two female roles of Bridie and Sheila, we are looking for versatile, experienced stage actresses with a good memory for extensive monologue/dialogue. Skills in physical characterisation will also be of key importance, both as of 60+ year old women for the majority of the play, and in moments where they bring to life their memories as younger women in WWII. Singing and dance skills are favourable but not a requirement.

For the role of the Interviewer, Rick, we are looking for an actor with excellent skill in vocal expression. The role of the Interviewer is performed off-stage and heard, not seen.

All rehearsals and performances take place in and around Penrith in Western Sydney.
Rehearsals will begin the week commencing 24th March, taking place on Thursdays and Fridays, with additional Saturdays towards performance week.

Performances: Matinees Tues 5th – Fri 8th June, plus one evening Fri 8th June for public audiences. Performances will take place in the Q Theatre, Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre, Penrith NSW

Auditions for these roles will be held in Penrith on Saturday 4th February 2012
