Auditions for “With a Cherry on Top”
Auditions for “With a Cherry on Top”
The Lavant Players are auditioning for parts in our next major production which will be staged in January 2013. Written by our Director, Tony Hudson. "With a Cherry on Top” is a musical comedy set in Alf’s Café during the 1950’s. Alf’s Café is run by the eponymous Alf with the help of his staff, Peggy, Ada and Joyce. Peggy’s Son, Tony narrates a large part of the play putting his teenage spin and view of the world into the Play. The story centres around Alf, whose Mum Mabel left him when he was a young man and ran off with an American GI just after the war. As a result Alf was left to run the Café on his own to make ends meet. He employs Peggy, Ada and Joyce to work with him and they all form an integral part of the story. Alf often wonders what his life would have been like if his Mother had not gone to America all those years ago and how his life might have turned out differently. He wonders what happened to his Mother and whether they will ever meet again? As usual, there are plenty of parts for both adults and children. Those who wish to audition for parts should download the “auditions packet” from our website [www.lavantplayers.net] and follow it’s instructions; auditions take place in the Lavant Memorial Hall at 7-10pm on 9th& 18thJuly.
Lavant Fete Pastiche
Lavant Fete Pastiche
I promised you something different for the Fete along the lines of paying homage to “The Artist” by performing a small pastiche of a silent movie; think Laurel & Hardy, Charlie Chaplin heroines, dastardly villains and railway tracks!
I lied there were no railway tracks [or heroines or villains] but there was Linda and a lampost as you can see! A short but perfectly formed piece that kept folks wondering how it was going to end - until the end.
