Casting call for new madcap dinner show

Auditions are being held this Wednesday evening, August 7, for Otamatea Repertory Theatre’s next major production, This Is Your Captain Speaking.

Director Peter Matheson describes the comedy as a combination of a play, musical, pantomime and a dinner show.

“It’s a madcap, high-flying comedy,” he says. “A great show for people who don’t normally go to live theatre.”

Peter says This Is Your Captain Speaking will be “very interactive” and he is looking for adults and older teenagers who can think on their feet and work as a team – it is not suitable for children.

The auditions will take place at the theatre in Bickerstaffe Road from 7pm to 9pm and rehearsals will initially be held twice a week. There will be six performances of the show at the beginning of November, staged over three weekends.
