The Pink Ladies and T-Birds are coming to town and Impact Community Theatre Company (formerly The PE G&S Society) is holding a second round of auditions for larger-than-life personalities to perform in their major 2024 production, Grease.
The first round of auditions took place on 11-12th May and unearthed some amazing talent however the dreaded flu bug struck and many people were unable to come and strut their stuff to become one of the Rydell High gang.
Grease hits the Savoy stage in September 2024 and Impact Theatre Company has formed a fresh, new production team mentored by veteran Bay performer and Director, Rose Cowpar. Leandi Fontini, who directed last year’s Mind My Broadway, takes the Director’s chair for her first full-scale musical production. Back at Impact Theatre Company after 10 years, is dynamic Choreographer, Andrea Morris joined by the Vocal Direction dream team of Joshua de Paula e Silva and Hannah Barth who last worked on Hairspray in 2023. “This is a fantastic new team that’s perfect for our new beginning as Impact and we aim to start with a bang!” said Cowpar.
We’re on the hunt for a vibrant and diverse cast of talented singers, dancers, and actors of all backgrounds and experience levels, aged 18 and up.
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or new to the spotlight, we welcome you to audition and be part of this exciting journey as we celebrate the cheeky humour and iconic music of Grease. Experience is a plus, but not a requirement. The casting of the show will be open to people from all races and backgrounds regardless of who played the role in the movies or what you usually see in live shows. In one nod to the movie that celebrates the special kind of humour brought by older actors playing teenagers, Fontini is looking for an older cast, much like in the movie, with a minimum age of 18 years.
The second round of auditions will take place on Wednesday 29/5/24 from 6.00 pm for singing and 8.00pm for choreography. Everyone will be required to do both singing and choreography auditions as well as script readings for those who are being considered for a leading role. Anyone wanting to take up this second chance to audition should book their singing time slot by signing up via this link: GREASE AUDITION FORM
