As many of you know, the auditions for next season's programme of plays are being held on Sunday 27th June, Sunday 4th July and Sunday 11th July. The auditions are open to everyone. However, if you are not a member of the theatre when you accept a role or offer to work backstage on a particular production, you will be expected to join before the rehearsals for that play begins. GOOD LUCK!

Looking ahead…the 2021/22 Season.

Before the country went in to lockdown, and when we were still eagerly looking forward to delivering a new programme of plays to commence in October 2020, the Drama Committee had reached a consensus on the make-up of next season. This was after receiving, and considering, a record number of submissions from a total of some 20 “volunteers”, each keen to direct at GWT.

As time went on, and play after play had to be postponed, we found that our planned 2020-2021 season was gradually morphing into our 2021-2022 season – so these plays and the audition materials may have a distinctly familiar ring to them!

Government guidelines permitting we will be holding auditions on

Sunday 27^th June 2021

Sunday 4^th July 2021

Sunday 11^th July 2021

Please save the dates.

We are in the process of updating all information on the website. You will see from the audition material that we have not yet been able to specify days and times for auditions, but the pages will be updated with this information asap.

In the meantime please do think about the plays which you might be interested in (whether as an actor or in any other capacity) and email the relevant directors asap with a note of your interest. In present circumstances, particularly for the purposes of arranging auditions, it is very important for the directors to be able to gauge the level of interest.

So putting aside the doom and gloom, we have a very exciting season ahead with a mixture of classic plays, the retelling of classic stories and a handful of brand new plays for you to enjoy.

We hope that you will be inspired by the prospect of watching, or being more actively involved in, what is on offer when it is safe and sensible for the GWT to open its doors once more.

In the meantime, a big thank you to all of our members who have been incredibly supportive and generous in their warm wishes and who have inspired us to proceed with an optimistic (but realistic) approach to re-opening. Click here to see the season in full.

Stay well and safe!

The Drama Committee
