Yorkton Paper Bag Players are looking for both actors and technical support staff as they take on two plays in the coming months.
Already cast in terms of actors, the local theatre group is readying ‘Augusta’ by Richard Dresser to go to Theatrefest in Melfort April 12-18, explained troupe representative Pamela Willerton.
While the actors are known for ‘Augusta’ Willerton added “we could use some more backstage help for that one.”
It is backstage crew that tops the list of needs for the second play Paper Bag Players will be doing.
Auditions for ‘Calendar Girls’ are being held at Grace Presbyterian Church Feb. 12 and 18 at 7:00 p.m.
“It’s the play based on the movie,” said Willerton, who added the production is a larger one than they usually undertake.
During auditions they will seek to fill nine female and four male roles.
“It’s a bigger cast, a bigger show,” said Willerton.
As a result more help is needed behind the scenes too.
“We are looking for tech help,” said Willerton, meaning help with sound, lights and backstage work.
“They don’t have to have any experience. We’ll show them the ropes, help them along,” said Willerton, adding the curious are welcome to attend auditions to ask questions and become involved.
