Auditions were held for our first play of the year, a New Zealand premier production

Director Gwyneth Glover has assembled a great cast of actors including Neil Shaddock, Jeanine Stanley, Dennis Petrone, Lillian Shaddock, Hilary Grant, Stan Goudge, Richard Glover, Steven Oates, Uliana Pausina, Gail Hosken and Anthony Carroll as the Pope.
Neil last was on stage for Pilgrim in ‘Racing Demon’ while Steven and Uliana were in last year’s ‘Charley’s Aunt’. Stan served as the first Pilgrim Chairman for many years and also initiated the round the churches play touring group. Anthony directed our last musical and has appeared in the touring plays as well as in ‘Mass Appeal’ ‘Florence’, 12 Angry Men’ and ‘Jennie Once.’ We welcome newcomers Jeanine, who has been associated with Silo Theatre, Dennis, Hillary, Gail and Richard. Experience and enthusiasm are all here in this talented cast of players.
The cast have begun rehearsing and from what I saw the other evening as they rehearsed the final scene, we will be in for an action packed night of comedy. Once again Gwyneth has taken our theatre space to create her own style of performance area where the audience will feel right at home with the characters in the play.

We were delighted to receive the Best Comedy award for ‘Charley’s Aunt’. ACTT, the Auckland Community Theatre Trust is made up from a group of Auckland theatres and generously sponsored by AMI Insurance with the aim of encouraging theatre and performance. It was very exciting to be a winner in our first year of belonging to ACTT. Congratulations to everyone who shared in our successful of production ‘Charley’s Aunt.’ Performing in a play is exciting but the preparation is lengthy, involving many more than the back stage team who is hard at work building the set while costumes and properties people are tirelessly gathering materials needed. Publicity is organized while front of house staff are arranged for each performance. We still need willing helpers.
