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)

Productions weeks are:

Step forward John Brown, future leader of the Green Party. A man with vision. A man with charisma.
But a man with a problem.
Forced by a mystery illness to quit his beloved politics, John decides to give one, last blistering farewell speech at the annual conference. The party faithful rise as one to greet their hero. The press cameras crackle and flash. And John stands to deliver his final, stark message to the waiting world. "Go green...or die."
Little could he know just how profound those words would be.
The characters
Sir Clive. Head of the British Secret Service. Sophisticated, with a commanding presence.
Madeleine. “A medical professional.” Intelligent, charismatic, engaging, passionate.
John. A politician. Similar age and characteristics to Madeleine.
Brian. Chairman of the Party. A bluff, no-nonsense “old school” politician.
Laura. John’s girlfriend. Attractive physically, but shallow and self-centred.
Christine. Brian’s wife. Good natured and likeable but not overly bright.
Ages are flexible.
