BIG SOCIETY 04

Are you interested in live performance? Fancy dressing up in period Edwardian attire and heckling the upper classes? Red Ladder Theatre Company is on the look-out for performers to take part in pre-show street theatre in and around the entrance to the City Varieties Music Hall during the run of its show BIG SOCIETY! A MUSIC HALL COMEDY from 18 January – 4 February.

Auditions for performers will be held in Red Ladder’s home in the Yorkshire Dance Building on Thursday 5 January from 6pm – 8pm. Red Ladder is looking for auditionees who are 18+ years old, no previous acting experience is necessary but performers must be confident enough to interact with audience members. Selected performers will be on rota throughout the run of the show, performing for half an hour from 7.30pm – 8pm, for 4 – 5 shows, spread out across the run of the show.
Starring comedian Phill Jupitus BIG SOCIETY! will open the Spring Summer season at the world famous City Varieties Music Hall, following its £9.9m refurbishment which was completed earlier this year. The show is centred around the cast of an Edwardian Music Hall variety show, who are threatened with closure at the hands of the corrupt newspaper ‘The Double Standard’, and features live music from Chumbawamba,
