This is always a fantastic community production, and we’d love to see lots of new and familiar faces taking part. Whether you want to shine in the spotlight or sing and dance in the chorus, Robin Hood promises to be a brilliant show for all involved!

Even if acting isn’t your thing we are always looking for volunteers to help with an array of things like Dressing Room Assistants, Front of House, Set Design, Props, Costumes and Backstage & Tech Crew. If you think you could help us out then please do get in touch via our website or pages or even pop along on auditions night and speak to one of our comittee members.

Hello All,

As we approach tech weekend this weekend here are just a few notes on what to expect.
TECH WEEKEND
SATURDAY – GET IN

CHORUS - 12pm until 2.30pm
PRINCIPAL DANCERS - 12pm until 4pm
PRINCIPAL CAST - 12pm until 5pm
When you arrive, please head into the small hall to the right of the main hall, as scenery and set will be being moved in the main hall and we don’t want to have any accidents.
This rehearsal will be to go over all the songs and dances for the show and to try on your costumes (see below), so please wear clothes you can dance in and bring a bottle of water.

SUNDAY – TECH REHEARSAL – ALL CAST AND CREW – 12PM TO 5PM
This will be a full run through of the show in costume, with lights, sound, set and special effects.
This can be quite a long day and we would advise to pack a packed lunch or some snacks and water. It is also a good idea to pack a quiet activity (such as a book) to entertain yourself quietly while not on stage.

COSTUME
Tech Weekend marks the start of our dress runs – so from here out we will be in costume. Please see the list below of what is needed and bring this along on Saturday.

🎭 COSTUME REQUIREMENTS 🎭
