The Good Time Gang Comedy Radio Hour - Audition!
The Good Time Gang is a new company of senior and volunteer performers who perform a raucous interactive show at retirement homes around the Wellington area. The group was put together by Jen McArthur, a local physical theatre maker, and Lynda Davis, who met doing The Wearable Arts Award Show.
We are auditioning for at least 2 new performers for our 2019 season of "The Good Time Gang Comedy Radio Hour", performed on Friday afternoons mid March to mid October. The show involves comedy, music, radio drama and audience interaction and is based on a 1940-60s style radio show. This initiative is to provide an opportunity for retired people who love performing to keep on the boards, or for younger people who have the time, to perform to an audience that is often overlooked and hungry for it! This show has received a WCC Arts and Culture grant for development and to equip it for performance but there is as yet no payment for performers. It received very enthusiastic feedback from the audience and staff in the four trial performances.
The audition is on Friday 16 November, from 2 to 4pm at the Newtown Community Centre Hall, Colombo St Newtown, Wellington.
