Young stars wanted for Oliver
GAINSBOROUGH Amateur Operatic Society are inviting applications from boys and girls aged seven to 13 years to take part in their centenary production of Oliver.
The show is being staged at the Trinity Arts Centre, Gainsborough, from Tuesday 27th April to Saturday 1st May, 2010.
The society is looking in particular for two boys to play the parts of Oliver and the Artful Dodger.
In addition to these two characters Fagin's gang has to be assembled giving an excellent opportunity for young people with musical and theatrical abilities to widen their experience.
Auditions are being held at the Central Methodist Church, North Street, Gainsborough, on Sunday 15th November.
Applicants will be requested to sing a song of their choice and should bring a copy of the music if possible.
Oliver still remains one of the best-loved musical shows of all time, vividly bringing to life Dickens' timeless characters with its ever-popular story about the boy who asked for more.
The sensational score is full of Lionel Bart's highly acclaimed songs including Consider Yourself, Food Glorious Food, You've Got to Pick-a-Pocket or Two, Oom Pah Pah, I'd Do Anything, As Long As He Needs Me and the spectacular Who Will Buy.
The show not only celebrates the society's 100th anniversary but also the re-birth of the Trinity Arts Centre, which was recently threatened with closure.
Once tickets go on sale in the New Year they are likely to be snapped up within a few weeks as the society are anticipating a sell-out production.
The show will once again be in the capable hands of professional director Greg Snape who will in turn be supported by musical director Gerry Mooney and choreographer Brent Grantham-Rae.
Any young person interested in auditioning for the show should contact the society's secretary, Julie Leaning, at 21 Ulster Road, Gainsborough, or email jeleaning@yahoo.co.uk.
