This production will be directed by Elizabeth Bradford and Marli van der Bijl with Olivia French. All stages of production will come together remotely, including actors attending rehearsals online and recording their dialogue from home. Take a look at the Audition Information here: https://bit.ly/32xAl9b As this is a community theatre company, please ...note that all of our production team and cast members will be volunteering their time for the project. It is, however, a wonderful opportunity for actors who want to get voice acting experience to add to their résumé.
