The Colleen Bawn

The Colleen Bawn:

Things are moving along. Colette has been through the complete wardrobe, that was on Sunday afer working a 16 hour shift and being 5 months pregnant. She puts her amazing energy down to two tablespoons of flaxseed on her morning yoghurt. She is off to the US on Tuesday and will be getting more costume materials there and wigs.

Noeleen has been in Wexford, colloguing with her brother in law Steve, who is the man for elegant set construction / design solutions.

The Whites, Maud, Roger and Dick are looking forward to appearing on stage together for the first time ever?

Shane Fahy completed a days filming as Bertie Ahern for the upcoming Mint Production/RTE biography of our former leader. Julian Judge played 'Paddy the Plasterer'.

Andrew Rankin is back and looks forward to a challenging lighting assignment.

There is books down on Monday for the first time.

Interesting review in the Sunday Times comparing the current Aykbourn and Pinter plays in the West End. Result Aykbourn ***** Pinter **. My feelings entirely.

Auditions on Monday!

It's come around again... another play, another audition...
Monday at 8pm is Wesley House, Leeson Park we're auditioning for The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. Noeleen Hartigan will direct, play dates around Easter but not quite decided at time of writing. All are welcome to audition - newcomers and oldcomers! However I will say that PLEASE be committed to rehearsals if you are fortunate enough to get a part. It's important to the whole team to have the full cast there when requested by the director. If you're going to be unavailable for more than a couple of rehearsals then Please - don't audition. You may be brilliant, you may know your lines, you may be fantastic in performance, but it's not fair on the rest of the cast to rehearse without you. Rehearsals are every Monday and Thursday at 8pm, if you don't have many scenes then you may not be required for all but that is up to the director. You have been warned. A Dim View will be taken.
As always it's not just the cast that are essential to the production so we'll be looking for people to do all the backstage stuff too. Interested?
