Cast needed for comedic production

NONE of the parts have been cast for the Murwillumbah Theatre Company's version of The Vicar of Dibley, but it's sure to be a hoot.

That's why the company is holding auditions at the Civic Centre, Murwillumbah on Monday at 7pm.

Do you want to have lots of fun? "If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right," jokes president of the company, Colin Elliot.

The characters from The Vicar of Dibley are numerous and funny.

You don't have to be experienced, just adventurous and willing to give your time.

When their vicar passed away in the middle of a service, the inhabitants of the small Oxfordshire village of Dibley expected his replacement to be another old man with a beard, a Bible and bad breath.

So, when a boisterous female minister with a bob-cut and a magnificent bosom comes to serve in the eccentric conservative small town's church, mayhem and comedy are sure to follow.

Three females and six males (ages 20 to 70s) are required to play the roles of the main characters and stage hands will also play the roles of miscellaneous villagers, so if you would like to help out backstage and get your 30 seconds of fame (non-speaking) then come along as well.

The production will commence on May 18 and there will be eight performances, with proceeds going to Comic Relief.

For more details phone director Julie on 0411 721 826.
