Open Auditions for It Runs in the Family

Tuesday 7th & Thursday 16th June 2022

Open Auditions

Tuesday 7th & Thursday 16th June at 8pm at the Hall
(please enter via the side gate and head for the Green Room out the back)

We are keen to welcome new members so feel free to come along even if you haven't been a member of ATG in the past.

Our auditions are not scary formal affairs. You'll be asked which roles you want to audition for and then we'll all read passages of the play as a group. Then it's off to the pub for a well-earned pint. There are two audition dates but you only need to come to one.

Rehearsals will start in early September and will most likely be on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8pm - though this sometimes changes due to cast availability.

The Play

We will be performing It Runs in the Family - a farce - by Ray Cooney.

Synopsis

Set in a hospital, Dr. Mortimore tries to fend off a paternity suit, an ex-wife, a punk son and various other lunatics so that he may, at last, deliver the Ponsonby Lecture in an international conference.

Character details

There are 12 characters; 7 male and 5 female, though some could go either way:

Dr David Mortimore
Dr Mike Connolly
Rosemary Mortimore
Dr Hubert Bonney
Matron
Sir Willoughby Drake
Jane Tate
Sister
Leslie
Police Sergeant
Bill
Mother
