Sister Act: Dates for the diary
There's not long to go until Sister Act rehearsals begin!
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 – Ashley Spear
Choreographer – Sam Belt
Musical Director – Julia Knights-Bennett
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 31st January 2019
Thursday 7th February 2019
Thursday 14th February 2019
Thursday 21st February 2019
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 24th February 2019
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 28th February 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 30th July to Saturday 3rd 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 28th July (with snack/dinner breaks of course!) and a full dress rehearsal on the evening of Monday 29th 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
