HalfBlonde89 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Sheffield amateur drama group is looking for interested and enthusiastic new members to be involved in all aspects of putting on a play. We rehearse in Norton/Woodseats area. We usually put on 2 plays a year - comedy, drama, farces - not musicals. We are a friendly and informal group and no experience is necessary. If you've always fancied it but never quite got round to it, then why not come along and see what we do and see if it's for you. Hi there I'm looking for an amateur drama group to join - i see the above post was posted in 2009 - just wondering whether this group is still going strong and if new members welcome? Many thanks Rachel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffest Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 You might be interested in this: Audition call for Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound “Fire. Steel. A foundry manufacturing the future. An ancient god in chains. But which force is the most powerful – revenge, or hope? Grab a torch. Dare to join the Promethean revolution.” A new production of the play Prometheus Bound is coming to Sheffield in Summer 2012 as part of the inaugural Sheffield Festival of Ancient Drama. Synopsis of the play Prometheus stole fire from the Olympian gods and gave its benefits to mortals: heat, light, technology, furnaces, manufacturing, steam. Savagely punished for his ingenuity, riveted to an iron crag above the city, he continues to defy the arbitrary power exercised by these cruel new rulers. When he encounters Io, another victim of the Olympian regime, Prometheus traces her wild journey across the world, and discovers that she could provide the weapon to bring down final disaster – or the last chance to redeem a fallen world… Helen Slaney, Director of Prometheus Bound, explains more about the production: ‘Unfolding in a surreal complex of skeletal girders and gnashing cogs, Prometheus uses elements of Steampunk to weld together two powerful myths: the timeless Ancient Greek legend of power corroded, and the modern myth of inexhaustible energy that drove the Industrial Revolution.’ ‘Its backdrop is the city of Sheffield: the dramatic skyline behind the theatre itself and the history of industry that has defined it. Written and designed specifically for this venue, Prometheus pours tragedy and spectacle into an unforgettable mould. For one night only, take up a torch and dare to join the Promethean revolution.’ Audition dates: 18 and 25 February 2012. Venue: The Leadmill, 6-7 Leadmill Rd, Sheffield. Production date: 23 June 2012. Production venue: in the South Streetoutdoor theatre, Sheffield. Roles Prometheus (m): the Titan who dared to defy divine tyranny and bring fire to mortals. Zeus (m): ruler of Olympus; a brutal factory-owner. Io (f):a young woman abused and abandoned by Zeus. Oceanus (m): Prometheus’ friend; a zany inventor. Vulcan (m): a master-craftsman. Strength (m): a sadistic henchman. Mercury (m/f): Zeus’ sycophantic P.A. Argus (m/f):the factory foreman, and leader of the Chorus. Chorus (m/f):a group of 20 factory workers. Also calling for production personnel: Assistant Director; Production Manager/Stage Manager; Choreographer. Audition requirements Auditions on Saturday 18 February will be individual 10-minute slots. We will send you a selection of extracts from the play. Please choose and prepare ONE of these extracts (you don’t need to learn it, but please be familiar with the text). Those interested in auditioning for the chorus will also be asked to attend a movement workshop on Saturday 25. We may also be holding call-backs for other roles on that day. If you cannot attend either of these Saturdays but would still like to audition, please contact us and we will do our best to arrange an alternative. Expressions of interest should be sent to: sheffest1@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
