La Vie Parisienne - Auditions

Thursday 16th October
7:30pm at St Hugh of Lincoln Parish Hall, Victoria Road, Knaphill. GU21 2JS

Email auditions@kasjog.co.uk before 7pm on 14th October to express your interest in auditioning for the show and for access to the Auditions material.

Auditionees will be considered for all roles, unless they have indicated otherwise on the Audition Form. The creative team suggests that you prepare a maximum of two roles, and have indicated that it is preferable to prepare one role well. If you do opt for more than one role, the suggestion is that you select contrasting roles. 

Auditions will be held in front of an audience, so you are welcome to attend even if you are not auditioning. There are a large number of named roles in this show, so please consider auditioning for one of the smaller roles if you are coming along mainly to watch.

There is an audition fee of £15, which will be credited against your show participation fee, if you participate in the show.

The Audition Form, and Audition pieces are available by emailing auditions@kasjog.co.uk
