Auditions

Westfield Road, Slyfield Green
Guildford GU1 1RR

at: Loseley Fields Primary
Green Lane, Godalming GU7 3TB

Auditions last 45 minutes and booked in advance.
Everyone is welcome. Parents do not stay.

Auditions are like a workshop. If you would like to
try for a speaking role you will need to read out
loud, although you dont have to learn anything.
Well email to let you know how you did.

Some rehearsals and performances may be
during term time. Please check with your school
that you are allowed to appear in the production.

Parts
There is a large cast with speaking roles of different
sizes. There will be a Blue and Yellow Team.

Show Fee
The show fee is 60 and paid when you audition.
Its only refunded if we dont offer you a part.
It includes costume hire and rehearsal costs.

It does not include tickets to see the show, shoe
hire (5 if required), socks or tights. Script loans
(everyone will need one of these) require a 5
returnable deposit paid at your first rehearsal.
Production T-shirts will be available, but are not
included in the show fee.

Paying the show fee shows a commitment to
attend all rehearsals and performances.

To appear in Arabian Nights, you must
continue to attend our weekly workshops
during the Autumn Term 2014.
School Absence
All cast members will need to apply for the
necessary permission for absence from school, if
required. There is no charge for this and it is simple
to apply for. We will give you further details about
how to do this.

Tickets
Each cast member is expected to sell a minimum
of 10 tickets to their family and friends.

You will be given a publicity pack (called Bums on
Seats) and an Accelerator Offer with reduced
ticket prices, to help you do this.

Being entirely unsubsidised, it is ticket sales that
allow us to present productions at The Electric and
to maintain the show fee at 60.

Chaperones
We need one chaperone for every twelve children
in the production. Chaperones play a vital part in
looking after the cast during the performances. It is
also an exciting opportunity to see what goes on
backstage to put on the production. Without
chaperones the performance cannot go ahead.

We currently have a very small and dedicated group
of volunteer chaperones; very few of who actually
have children in the production. We desperately
need more parents to register.

If were not able to find enough chaperones, we will
have no other option than to use professional ones.
This would increase the show fee by over 35. If we
had enough volunteer chaperones, they would only
need to do one or two performances each.

Being a chaperone is enjoyable and rewarding. It can
take a little time to register, so if you are interested
in registering, please contact your local authority as
soon as possible.

Missed Rehearsals

In fairness to everyone, we take attendance at
rehearsal very seriously.

If you miss a rehearsal without first discussing
it with us, you will lose your role.

We understand that occasionally there is a long


standing commitment or a last minute situation
(such as illness) that means there is no other option
than to miss a rehearsal.

You can, at our discretion, miss a rehearsal.
However, once a rehearsal is missed, a second
rehearsal missed for any reason, including illness, will
mean a lost role. There is no exception to this.

and Finally ...
You must let us know when you audition if
you are going to have to miss a rehearsal. We
will try, but cannot guarantee to put you in a team
thats rehearsing at a different time. Please advise us
in writing of your team choice and also the date of
the rehearsal that you would have to miss when
you audition.


Please Note: Choosing a team reduces your
chance of being offered a role and makes
casting the production very difficult.
Only choose a team if you REALLY have to!
