Auditions!

Whitby Courthouse Theatre ("WCT") is a non-profit group that welcomes all experience levels to our team. Whether this is your first stab at making a debut on stage, or your 100th, all are welcome to try out for our shows.

Specific notes will be provided here for what our Director is wanting to see for their show, but here's a few general tips to keep in mind.

• If you can, get a look at the script ahead of time. Having a general idea of the story line and its theme will help you to decide how -you- want to interpret the character you want to audition for.
• If you're asked to prepare a song as part of an audition, it helps if you pick something you know well and can memorize. Fumbling with sheets and getting lost during your audition can really throw you off balance for the rest of your effort.
• Try not to bring friends/family along to "cheer" you on. If they plan to audition too thats fine, but otherwise we want to see just you.
• Bring a resume of other shows you've been involved in, if any.

Current Auditions:

Whitby Courthouse Theatre is auditioning for 'The Foursome' by Norm Foster. This story follows the dramatic and humourous events of four fellows on the golf course, brought together again after many years apart by a school reunion the night before.

Audition Dates:

Sunday Feb 17 at 7:30pm

Tuesday Feb. 19 at 7:30pm

Both auditions are at Whitby Courthouse Theatre in the Centennial Building at 416 Centre Street South.

Cast: Four men all close to the same age are required. (late 20's to early 30's or late 30's to early 40's)

Brief Character Descriptions:

Rick is a blowhard and cheat, a self-styled stud who's gone off to Florida to sell boats and dream of getting rich through various half-baked schemes.

Ted opens his first beer as they arrive on the first tee at 7:00 and has had five by the time they finish the first nine!

Donnie is the most obvious victim. He has never played golf before, and much is made of this, and his devotion to (and his endless blathering about) his family.

Cam is in some ways the center of the occasion: he's the member of the golf club, and he's invited the others for this round. It's he who keeps coming back to how sad it is that they've all fallen out of touch -- "the three best friends I've got in the world".
