Women and Theatre are currently working with Birmingham Settlement and Aston Hall to produce a new piece of theatre to be performed at Aston Hall on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May 2013. The piece will be made up of eight short stories, four from the 1600s and four from the present day, each informed by research into the lives of servants and workers in Aston. Each story will be performed in a different location at Aston Hall, with the audience moving round to each room in turn.
Cast members
We are looking for people age 16+ from the Aston area to help tell the stories as cast members. Each story will be between 2-5 minutes long and may take the form of a monologue, a group scene or a tableau with voice-over - so you may not necessarily have to learn any lines.
If you are interested, come along to our casting session on Thursday 2nd May between 4.30-6.30pm at the Stable Cafe, Aston Hall to meet the team and get involved.
Cast members will be required for:
- Short rehearsals on Tuesday 14th, Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th May.
- A dress rehearsal on Friday 17th May between 3.00-8.00pm.
- All day for performances on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May.
Volunteers
We will also need people during the performance days - Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th May - to welcome the audience, guide them between rooms, and as general helpers. Come and get involved!
