Footloose Dates for the Diary
So the secret is out... we have chosen Footloose as our 2018 performance!
We can't wait to get started! Our production team has been finalised and the rehearsal venues have been booked so we are now able to inform you of everything you need to know.
Production Team
Director – Ben Blaber
Choreographer – Sam Belt
Musical Director – Sian Kelly
Head of Costume – Vron Spear
Head of Hair and Make-Up – Naomi Morant
Head of Props - Catherine Chevill
Stage Manager – Jon Spear
We have four pre-audition rehearsals where you will all learn some songs, some choreography and a little bit of script so that you all audition with the same material. The cost of this is £5 which covers all 4 rehearsals, what a bargain!
Pre-Audition Rehearsals
Falmouth Methodist Church
7pm - 9.30pm
Thursday 1st February 2018
Thursday 8th February 2018
Thursday 15th February 2018
Thursday 22nd February 2018
Auditions
Auditions are held in slots of 30 minutes with small groups of 3-5 people. During the pre-audition rehearsals you will be able to sign up for your preferred time with your preferred peers.
Audition Date: Sunday 25th February 2018
Audition Venue: Falmouth Theatre Company
The show will then be cast that afternoon with letters being sent out letting you know if you have been successful or unsuccessful.
If you have been successful then rehearsals will commence on Thursday 1st March at Falmouth Methodist Church. You will be required to pay subs of £40 which covers you from February through to the end of the show. When you break down this cost per rehearsal it makes us one of the cheapest theatre groups around!
Our rehearsals take place every Thursday evening from 7pm - 9.30pm at Falmouth Methodist Church. These rehearsals are compulsory for all cast members regardless of role.
From Spring onwards we will then incorporate rehearsals on a Tuesday evening at Falmouth Theatre Company. You will be informed each week as to who will need to attend these rehearsals; sometimes it will be a full cast call, sometimes it will be just a few lead roles, sometimes it will be a small group of chorus... etc etc.
Performances
The show will take place from Tuesday 31st July to Saturday 4th August at The Poly, Falmouth.
The week before the show is very full on and jam packed with rehearsals! Make sure you rest up because there's nothing worse than feeling exhausted before the show has even begun! We will have a rehearsal all day and evening on Sunday 29th July (with snack/dinner breaks of course!) and a full dress rehearsal on the evening of Monday 30th July.
We cannot stress enough how important it is that you attend rehearsals. If you are unable to attend rehearsal for some reason then please give plenty of notice so that we can plan ahead
