Attention Fourecksian thespians! This is your opportunity to get in on the next Discworld production by Adelaide's famous Unseen Theatre!

WHEN: Sunday July 1st at 3pm.
WHERE: Bakehouse Theatre, 255 Angas Street, Adelaide
REHEARSALS: A ten week rehearsal period starting on Sunday 15th July. We rehearse Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sundays either afternoon or evenings (negotiable with cast)

"Auditions are conducted in groups, doing a 'cold' read from excerpts of the script. You do NOT need to make a specific individual appointment, but you do need to show up ON TIME. It is not a requirement, but you may find it useful to familiarise yourself with the book, or with any other works from Terry Pratchett. It will help you get a feel for the show. If, after the group reading you would like the Director to see an individual monologue from you, please let us know when you come in to auditions. Monologues should be no longer than 1min."

For full details and a list of which parts are available to audition for, go to http://unseen.com.au/news/audition-eric-sunday-july-1st-3pm/

The Tower Players return next year with a new Discworld production! Director Andy Moseley writes:

Having had only a brief cameo in 2012's Wyrd Sisters, Tower Players are putting everyone's favourite anthropomorphic personification front and centre in their new production of Mort. This is Tower Players' second outing to the second hand set of dimensions that is home to Discworld, following their highly commended staging of Wyrd Sisters in 2012.

Stephen Briggs' adaptation brings to life this humorous tale that tackles classic themes of unrequited young love, the nature of mortality and the impulsive, hormone driven disruption of the entire history of the future.

Book your tickets now for a great night in the company of Princesses, Wizards, hormonal teenagers and the most efficient short order cook ever to grace the kitchen of Harga's House of Ribs!

Tell your families. Tell your friends. Tell your enemies. Tell your colleagues. Tell the person sat next to you on the tube/train/bus. Tell your taxi driver. Tell random strangers in the street. Tell everyone!!
