76... 75... 74...

Join a drama/ theatre group, Be in a play/ musical, Perfect an accent and use it in drama: All check!!!

A few weeks ago my friend Sam and I saw an advert for auditions for a local production of Fame by Rare Productions. We decided to go to the audition and see what it was all about, seeing as the storyline of Fame has always intrigued me somewhat, as well as wanting to have something to preoccupy us. Turns out, the auditions were packed! There were two dates, and the first (which we attended) at least saw 300 hopefuls audition - really says something about the lack of artistic productions in Essex, doesn't it?
Not expecting too much, a week later both Sam and I received lead roles in the production!!!! I will be playing Serena, who is the role I would have chosen given the chance. It will be so nice for once NOT to play a psycho/ freak! A production like this really brings people together when practising, and already we have met some great new people!
Oh, and the performance requires an American accent for the role. So three in one! The role also consists of two singing solos... why?!?!?!?

For anyone interested and in the area; there are four performances from May the 6th - 8th. It's an open performance so any one's welcome to come along and watch!
