Theatre Royal Wakefield auditions Sunday 6 March

Theatre Royal Wakefield call out for cast members for The Wakefield Mysteries (open auditions Sunday 6 March) and Jesus Christ Superstar (open auditions Sunday 13 March):

Theatre Royal Wakefield is looking for cast members aged 13 - 30 to help bring to life a brand new, modern day retelling of The Wakefield Mysteries.   In this striking new production, the series of plays written by the city's guilds in the middle ages to tell the story of the bible are given a 21st century kick. Rolling news, rap battles, poetry slams and TV debate mix with the modernised rhyme in this funny and gripping look at the old and new testaments...and the city's own recent history.   If you're aged 13 - 30 and think this opportunity might be for you, click here to register to attend the open auditions at Theatre Royal Wakefield on Sunday 6 March, where you can find out more about the project.   If you can't attend this Sunday, there will be further auditions on Sunday 17 April. Alternatively, if you're aged 16+ and are interested in being part of the technical team or house band, please email jenny.jones@theatreroyalwakefield.co.uk.         Following the great success of Oliver!, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon and Cats, Wakefield Youth Music Theatre will stage Jesus Christ Superstar at Theatre Royal Wakefield this August and September and we're looking for talented young people to audition.   Jesus Christ Superstar is a timeless piece of theatre which takes place during the final weeks of Jesus' life, and follows the events which led to his betrayal by Judas Iscariot and, ultimately, his crucifixion, all told though the musical score of Andrew Lloyd Webber.   If you're aged 11 - 21 and think this opportunity might be for you, you're invited to attend the open auditions at Wakefield College Thornes Park campus on Sunday 13 March. To register, email jenny.jones@theatreroyalwakefield.co.uk.         Theatre Royal Wakefield, Drury Lane, Wakefield, WF1 2TE
