* MEN AT ARMS IN BERKSHIRE (FEBRUARY)

The Cranbourne Amateur Dramatic Society (CADS) will present their production of Men at Arms in February!

"The Ankh-Morpork City Night Watch find their services are once more needed to tackle a threat to their city. A threat at least as deadly as a 60-foot dragon, but mechanical and heartless to boot. It kills without compunction. It is the first gun on the Discworld. The original Watch – Captain Vimes, Sergeant Colon, Corporal Carrot and Corporal Nobbs – are joined by some new recruits, selected to reflect the city's ethnic make-up – Lance-constables Cuddy, Detritus, and Angua. In a city, where Assassins are clowning about and Fools are dying, the Watch must keep control of themselves as much as its citizens."

When: 15th, 16th and 17th February 2018
Venue: St Peter's Church Hall, Hatchet Lane, Cranbourne, Winkfield, Berks SL4 2EG
Time: 7.45pm all evening shows, with a 2.30pm matinee on the 17th
Tickets: £9, available from the Box Office (phone 01344 886456) or by printing and posting a facsimile of the Booking Form below.

Things you need to know about auditions:-

Auditions are usually held as "cold" group readings of excerpts from the script – so no need to prepare anything, and no need to make an individual audition time. However – you must notify the Director via email of your intention to attend the auditions so that we know how many people to expect. It is to your advantage to read (before attending auditions) anything by our usual author Sir Terry Pratchett so that you are familiar with the genre of the play. If you would like the Director to also hear a prepared monologue please notify the Director at the time and stay after the group reading for her to listen to it.

Rehearsals are held 3 times per week – usually Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings for a period of 10 weeks before the performance dates.
