Invitation to take part in our Winter Revue

Saturday 23rd November

7.30 pm in the Columcille Centre

We are looking for contributors to our Winter Revue which will be a collection of small pieces and performances and is the perfect opportunity to perform something you've been working on, or you've always wanted to try.

Some of the things we're looking for include:

    Small one act plays (15-30 minutes)
    Monologues or Duologues (5 minutes)
    Small extracts from full length shows (5-10 minutes)
    Performed poetry, short stories or songs

But we're open to suggestions!

The performances could either be staged fully, or could be in the style of radio plays or rehearsed readings, but there are some things to consider:

    We won't have a technical rehearsal so the performance should require minimal technical effects, set and costumes
    They should be entertaining to the general public (this doesn't mean they have to be comedic!)
    You should ideally have a cast in mind, or shouldn't require too many people!


If you're interested please send an email to answering the following questions:

Name:
Email:
Type of Performance: (One act play/monologue/extract/poem/etc)
Length of performance: (approx)
Cast required: (If relevant how many male/female characters)
Do you already have a cast, if so who are they?
Do you need anything else? (e.g director, props, specific effects etc)

Please also include a copy of the text you'd like to perform. We will be accepting suggestions until 12th September after which we will review and get in touch with people. We probably won't be able to stage everything this time but will be looking to put together an interesting and varied show.

We will then run an information evening later in September, where we will ask for people to come along if they'd like to be involved - this is when we will get our casts together if you need them.

We have rehearsal space available which we can discuss at the information evening. If you have any questions that aren't answered here please get in touch!
