Carlton Dramatic Society

Teechers is well underway now and news from the front line is that it's going to be a brilliant show (tickets are going fast so get on to the Studio now if you want to support the Carlton). So we are looking forward to the next entertaining endeavour which is the Carlton Showcase on 22nd and 23rd February 2007.

The Showcase is performed over two nights and is an evening of short plays and sketches. It usually lasts about two and a half hours, including the interval.

This is your chance to do something daring and innovative. We are looking for short plays, scenes, sketches that you want to perform/direct. They can be serious, funny or in-between and you can even write your own material. Just to give you some idea of the scope, previous hits have been an adaptation of The Graduate, scenes from Taming of the Shrew, Victoria Wood sketches and The Lord of the Rings in 20 minutes. You can do duologues, monologues, or full scale epic productions. The only limit is that plays should be about 15-20 mins max or 5-10 mins max in the case of monologues.

The first meeting to discuss the showcase will be Thursday 16th November at 8pm at the Wimbledon Community Centre where you can meet directors looking for cast and actors looking for directors and generally find out what's going on. But in the meantime if you already have an idea of what you want to do, want some more information or just want to express a vague interest please email me via the committee.

Your friendly Showcase producer,

Kristen
