Hey everyone!! So we've had to change the way we run things at panto this year to keep in line with covid guidance, and here are those changes plus some important info!!
GENERAL: We've set up a discord server this year, so we can keep everyone up to date with what's happening and host/organise socials. The link to join is https://discord.gg/9JG2x9m, please do so! This is super important for auditioning, as some of the finer details e.g. character summaries are gonna be put on the discord.
AUDITIONS: these will be held on the evenings of Wed 30th Sept and Thurs 1st Oct, with the Wednesday auditions being held in a lecture hall (hopefully!) and Thursday ones over video chat. To sign up for rehearsals, please put your name in our sign up sheet (here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HyxVmCrKAJ6e7livCvgC58wp_UFiNuOQblTreoek_50/edit?usp=drivesdk) to book a time slot, and you'll be emailed script extracts. Please also prepare a short song - anything will do! If anything drastic changes, we will be sure to email you.
REHEARSALS: These will be held in small groups if government restrictions allow, and we'll be using the discord server to keep you all updated with who we need at each rehearsal. Please only come if you're called to, to keep us within guidelines! Don't worry if you're a stagehand or have a smaller part - we'll be hosting workshops, prop days etc as well as lots of online socials to keep us all busy!! Rehearsals are Thursday evenings 7-10pm and Sundays around 11-4pm.
So that's it for now!! Please message us if you have any questions about anything. Even with distancing, we know we can still put on an amazing show this year, and we hope you'll join us! :)
Discord is the easiest way to talk over voice, video, and text. Talk, chat, hang out, and stay close with your friends and communities.
