CASTING CALL!

Huddersfield Thespians are about to start rehearsals for their 98^th Season, and we would love for two experienced (playing age mid 40s to late 50s) actors to be involved with our first play!

GHOSTS By Henrik Ibsen

Performance Dates: Tuesday 3 – Saturday 7 October 2017

Rehearsals start 7 August 2017, with rehearsals four nights a week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday) though you may not be called to all rehearsals.

We’re looking for:

Pastor Manders (mid 40s to late 50s): a local priest from the nearby town. He often lectures others about morality and religion. Sometimes, his financial dealings regarding the orphanage seem suspect, and he is also quick to bend to public opinion. He is easily shocked.

Jakob Engstrand  –  An alcoholic carpenter who married Johanna when she was pregnant with Captain Alving’s child, a daughter – Regina. At the start of the play, he is working on the orphan asylum, and wants to use the money he is saving to open an “establishment” for sailors. When speaking to Pastor Manders, whom the hypocritical Jakob always tries to please, he describes the establishment as a place to reform sailors. But when he describes it to Regina, it sounds like a high-class saloon or brothel.

If you are interested, we’d love for you to be involved, as we are always seeking new members who wish to join us. In addition, new and experienced Backstage crew are also very welcome!

We look forward to hearing from you!
