THE LOTTIE PROJECT - AUDITIONS
AUDITION: Sunday 17th March
Show dates: Saturday 20th - Sunday 21st July
The Lottie Project - a 'Little Lindleys' production
This beautiful comedy/drama follows that life of Charlie, in her last year of primary school and her single mum Jo. Recently made redundant, Jo must work two jobs and long hours and in the process meets a new man, much to Charlie’s annoyance. The play follows Charlie coming to terms with the change in her life, and how it reflects on her relationships at school and although the target audience is 7-14 I am confident it will be enjoyed by members right across the generations.
Once again, rehearsals will be Sunday afternoons from April onwards with the two principle characters, CHARLIE & JO, needed for the occasional weekday evening. Read Thru: Sunday 10th March, 1pm Auditions: Sunday 17th March, 1pm. There may be call backs for “Charlie” on Sunday 24th March

Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
Plenty of roles available for both males and females of all ages with some twists afoot re casting of characters. Excited? Interested?
