Auditions for - Season 2 – The Crucible
Season 2 - General Information
The Crucible will be staged as part of a rep. season in conjunction with the Romeo and Juliet (note performers will not be performing in both shows). Both shows will be touring to schools, followed by an in-theatre season at Studio 1, Northcote Town Hall
Schools Tours: Monday April 27 – Friday May 8
In-theatre season: Tuesday May 12 – Saturday May 23
Rehearsals will begin on March 1 and span over an 8 week period, two nights per week, plus one day on weekends.
The payment is on a profit share basis, but the bookings we have already secured have put us into profit in pre-production, so combined with door sale profits, we are already in a position to secure payments for all performers and production staff.
All auditionees should bring 2 copies of their CV and Headshot (1 for the director and 1 for the Eagle's Nest file).
About the showThis year we welcome Phil Roberts (Graduate of VCA Directors course and well known Melbourne actor) to the Eagle’s Nest team as director of The Crucible.
