Want to know more about the play or the script? – Google, Wikipedia and the usual sources are your friend! We cannot send full copies
of the script due to copyright.
The Theatre on Chester is a community theatre and as such none of the cast or crew are paid. You will however be rewarded with
tea, coffee, biscuits, the occasional pizza and lots of rapturous applause!
Membership of the Theatre on Chester – Actors who are cast for the production will need to be members of the Theatre on Chester, $10
for a year.
Set building for the production will be on Saturday mornings from 9.00am – 1.00pm. It is appreciated if cast members can
give a few Saturdays to help with the set. On performance nights, cast members please stay for 5-10 minutes after the show to help the stage
manager close up and the FOH team to pack chairs etc. Many hands make light work and then we can all get away at a reasonable time. The
Sunday afternoon following the final performance is set break down, help from the cast is appreciated.
