Melfort Amateur Dramatics holding auditions ahead of provincial drama competition

Dec 17, 2019 | 12:00 PM

Melfort Amateur Dramatics has issued a call for actors and stage hands for its upcoming spring production.

MAD has selected the play, Jupiter in July by Norm Foster as their spring production. The plan is to enter the play into the 2020 provincial TheatreFest according to Mel Annand.

“Melfort will host the drama competition this year so we automatically get the right to enter a play,” Annand said. “We decided this would be a great play to enter with challenging parts for actors in it and will certainly entertain the audience.”

The drama competition will begin on April 12 with Melfort’s play, and run throughout the week.

“There will be a play every evening until the Saturday night,” Annand said. “I think we have four of the seven spots filled up already and I’m sure the others will be entered soon into the new year.”

An early bird package is now available for a week-long pass for $50 at the Kerry Vickar Centre box office.

Auditions will take place on January 6, at the MAD theatre house on Main Street and Annand hopes to see some new faces this time around.

“If you have ever thought you might want to be on stage, this is a good opportunity to come and see what is involved and maybe there will be a part that interests you,” Annand said.

For anyone that might want to get involved but can’t come for the auditions, they can make arrangements with Annand by calling 306-921-7360.

More details on the 2020 Provincial TheatreFest are expected in the new year.
