Auditions: Full Monty

Cheryl from Cannons Creek

CAN YOU SING? ACT? OR MOVE A LITTLE? IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES WHY NOT GIVE LIVE THEATRE A GO

Community theatre is alive and well in Wellington. New community company - Kauri Theatre - staged Bad Girls the Musical at the Gryphon Theatre last year and it was a great success.

Now the company is hitting the boards again - this time bringing the musical of the cult film The Full Monty to Wellington audiences.

If you have always hankered to give live theatre a go we would love to see you at auditions in early February. All you need to do is prepare a suitable song and come along and give it a shot. We’re looking for all sorts of people, different ages, shapes and sizes.

Auditions for this 10-time Tony Award nominated show - which is filled with engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show - are being held on February 2 and 3 at the Berhampore Community Centre on Adelaide Rd.

The show will be staged at the Gryphon Theatre in Wellington from May 29 to June 8.

For more information - and to book an audition time - txt 022 165 6219 or email the secretary at kauritheatre@gmail.com

NB: This show contains some nudity

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
