General Notes on Auditioning for East Lane Theatre Club
Auditions are open to anyone over 18 (or 16 by arrangement)
East Lane is an amateur club. No payments are made for performing.
If this is your first time at East Lane, please also bring with you details of your past experience, a photo with your Full name, address, phone number and email so we can contact you later.
Auditions are as friendly and informal as possible, you will be asked to read from the provided
audition pieces, either singly or in groups, as well as moving around our stage.
There is no need to learn the pieces provided, and we do not ask for any learnt pieces to be performed.
We do ask that if cast you can make all the rehearsal & performance dates, although it is sometimes possible to accommodate pre arranged holidays. Please bring with you dates you cannot make.
To perform in a production you must be a Full paid up Member, and pay the casting fee £20 on the first rehearsal (which covers your script, insurance, tea & coffee etc)

Two once successful crime-writing playwrights are trying to finish a block-buster….but is it to pay off their mounting debts….or, instead, their plan for carrying out the perfect, actual murder? Complications abound!
