🎭 AUDITION NOTICE 🎭

'ALLO 'ALLO 2: THE CAMEMBERT CAPER based on the original BBC TV Series written by Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft.

Adapted by David Pibworth, Daid Lovesy, and Steve Clark.

Directed by Lisa Miller.

READ THROUGH: Tuesday 16th June at 7.30pm

PRODUCTION DATES: Saturday 12th, Monday 14th to Saturday 19th September 2026

Rehearsals start the week commencing July 27th

In German-occupied France, café owner René Artois is once again swept into chaos
as he tries to help two British airmen escape while having to raise a fortune in compensation for the missing Fallen Madonna painting.

Surrounded by a cast of meddling Resistance members, scheming Germans, and eccentric locals—including the amorous Monsieur Alphonse, the baffling Officer Crabtree, and the love stricken Lieutenant Gruber - René’s world descends into classic farce. With money, forged notes, and even a bomb hidden inside identical camembert cheeses, it’s only a
matter of time before everything goes hilariously and explosively wrong.

Expect a few loud bangs, reductive sterotyping and middle aged men in their underwear.

CASTING - The cast features the usual suspects:

Rene: The beleaguered café owner
Edith: His long suffering wife
Yvette: His glamorous bit on the side
Mimi: His other (shorter) bit on the side.
F***y: His annoying bedridden mother in law
2 British Airman (who have a larger part in this production) - The thorns in Renes
side.
Leclerc: The master of disguise (or not as the case may be)
Monsieur Alphonse: Ardent admirer of Edith and the local undertaker.
Michelle: Still only saying things once.
Crabtree: Still saying things badly.
Colonel: Still sporting a wiglet
Capt. Geering: His dim-witted side kick
Helga: The ever passionate lover of Herr Flick
Herr Flick: the cold and dispassionate Gestapo officer
Lieutenant Gruber: Still pining to take Rene for a spin in his little tank.
General Von Klinkerhoffen: Freshly back from the Russian Front and demanding…
everything!

Also – a small selection of soldiers and peasants and radio voices.

Ages are flexible - it just needs to make sense logistically and visually

‼️ URGENT CASTING CALL ‼️

Calendar Girls by Tim Firth, directed by Andy Fox-Hutchings and Kell Cowley

PRODUCTION DATES: Saturday 4th July, Monday 6th to Friday 10th July at 7.30pm and Saturday 11th July at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.

Due to unforseen circumstances our Annie has had to drop out. Rehearsals are already in full swing so we are looking for someone to start ASAP.

ROLE:

ANNIE (F) - 50s, Annie will join in mischief but is at heart more conformist and less confrontational than Chris. After Chris has put a waiter's back up in the restaurant, Annie will go in and pour calm. The mischievousness Chris elicits saves Annie from being a saint. She has enough edge to be interesting, and enough salt not to be too sweet. Ideal car - who cares, as long as it's reliable. Ideal holiday - walking in the English countryside.

If you're available and think you could be our Annie then please contact Andy Fox-Hutchings at [email protected]

Please note this is an unpaid opportunity.

Don’t miss out. Buy your tickets today for our upcoming production of Kayfabe! 🎪

Despite Billy's wish to be alone, members of the troupe come to him for the usual advice, grievances, and check-ins, until midnight draws near. Haunted by the weight of the decisions ahead of him, Billy falls asleep in the centre ring, awakened by a stranger in the dead of night. A hallucination? A vision?

A ghost? Billy cannot be sure. The only certainty is that this will not be the only apparition to visit him in his hour of need.

Kayfabe opens on Wednesday 3rd June and runs until Saturday 6th at 7.30pm, with a 2.30pm matinee on Saturday 6th!
