The Elora Community Theatre (ECT) is holding auditions for Hay Fever, the third and final show of its 2010-11 season. Directed by Richard Walsh-Bowers, this witty Noel Coward classic runs April 29 & 30, May 1, and May 5-7, 2011, at the Fergus Grand Theatre.
Auditions will take place on Tuesday, January 25 and Thursday, January 27, both at 7:30 p.m. at St. James Anglican Church, 171 Queen Street West in Fergus. No preparation is necessary.
Required for the cast are nine characters: five females and four males ranging in age from 17-60s.
Set in an English country house in the 1920s, Hay Fever revolves around four eccentric members of the Bliss family and their outlandish behaviour when they each invite a guest to spend the weekend. The ensuing confusion gives rise to some of Coward’s wittiest dialogue and has provided audiences with evenings of delightful pure escape into a world of light-hearted fun.
