Job Specifics:

Details:

Award-winning theatre company, Stage One, will be presenting the musical comedy, \'Nunsense\', at the Brookside Theatre, Romford at the end of November 2012.

‘Nunsense’ is a hilarious spoof about the misadventures of five nuns trying to manage a fundraiser. Sadly, the rest of the sisterhood died from botulism after eating vichyssoise prepared by Sister Julia. Thus, the remaining nuns – ballet-loving Sister Leo, street-wise Sister Robert Anne, befuddled Sister Mary Amnesia, the Mother Superior Sister Regina, and mistress of the novices Sister Mary Hubert – stage a talent show in order to raise the money to bury their dearly departed.

Performance dates: Wed 28th Nov 2012 - Sat 1st Dec 2012

Auditions and rehearsals will be held at the Brookside Theatre, Romford, 2 evenings a week and Sunday daytimes by a rehearsal schedule (provided).

Deadline for CV/applications is Friday 10th August 2012.

Location: Romford, United Kingdom

Payment details: Profit share
