BECK USE ONLY

Following the huge success of last year’s Summer Project Fame we are looking for enthusiastic, committed and talented young people, aged 9 – 19, to take part in our next all-singing, all-dancing, musical extravaganza – LEGALLY BLONDE!

Application Form Deadline: Mon28 March 2016.

Please fill in the application form and return along with a passport sized photo in advance of auditions.

We anticipate that auditions will be popular and due to the actual number of Project places available and time restrictions on audition day we may not be able to see anyone who misses the application form deadline or just turns up on the day. Also, subject to actual numbers we might need to stop taking application forms BEFORE the deadline so please send your application form in nice and early!

Audition Day:Sun24April 2016

PLEASE NOTE: in a change to previous project auditions, there will now be a £10 audition fee – if you are successful in securing a place in the project then this £10 fee will be deducted from your final fees payment. If we do not offer you a place then the £10 fee will be refunded to you. If you are offered a place and decline or drop out then the £10 fee will not be refunded.

Please bring £10 in cash with you on audition day (we will give you a receipt) – if you do not bring the £10 fee then I’m afraid that you will not be allowed to audition.

Exact start and finish times for each group will be advised nearer the time by letter and will be posted on our website becktheatre.org.uk

We will start in the morning with the youngest group (Boys and Girls 9 – 12s) and once everyone has been seen this group will then be free to leave. Girls 13 – 19s will be next and then Boys 13 – 19s. We are aiming to have seen everyone by early afternoon.

Call backs for lead roles and main dancers only will begin mid-afternoon. Final casting selections will be made later in the day when all auditionees have left. You will then be notified either by phone (depending on how quickly we can get through to everyone) or email whether you have been successful or not. Confirmation packs to all successful auditionees will be posted shortly after.

Please wear comfortable clothes (no jeans) and suitable footwear and be prepared to sing and dance! You should also bring a packed lunch, plenty to drink and a book or something to do as there can be quite a bit of waiting around as we try to see everyone.

Please note: Only people auditioning will be allowed into the auditorium. Our Café Bar will be open for parents / friends wishing to wait.


Summer Project Fees: £140 each, £120 for each additional sibling (Fees include a Summer Project 2016 t-shirt)

If you are offered a place,then your £10 audition fee will be deducted from the project fees. Project fees should be paid in full by Mon 4 July 2016. We are happy to be paid in instalments and can discuss details with you individually. The fee covers the two weeks of Project (it does not include any transport, meals or show tickets) and we may ask you to assist with some basic items for costumes such as t-shirts, shoes, etc – hopefully things that you already have at home.

Please note: once payment (or part-payment)has been made there are no refunds – you have committed to the Project and taken a place from another auditionee.

Summer Project: Sun 16 – Sat 29 August

You must be available for allthese days. Due to the short rehearsal and production time it is very important that you are fully committed to the Project for the whole period – for example, if you are on holiday and will miss the first couple of days of rehearsals them I’m afraid that you will not be able to take part.

If you have an important appointment that will be difficult to reschedule such as dentist or doctor then please let us know in advance so that we can plan for your absence.

Everyone should have a full day off on Sun 21 August along with some earlier finishes during the first week and later starts in the second. A full rehearsal schedule will be sent to project members in July.
