Hinchingbrooke School Productions 2012-2012
Guys and Dolls is a whole school production, of a similar scale to last year’s Les Misérables and will
probably draw more on our senior students for the key roles. Students in Year 7 and 8 should not be
deterred from auditioning but we ask you to accept that there may be limited parts for this age group.
Bugsy Malone will offer key roles to students in Years 10-7 and auditions for this production will be held
straight after Christmas. For a few weeks in the Spring term rehearsals may run in parallel. We expect
very few students indeed would find time and energy to be in both productions. Further details about
Bugsy Malone will follow next term from Mrs Akielan and Mrs Nichols who are leading that production.
Auditions for Guys and Dolls will be held from 3.45-6pm on Monday 10th and Thursday 13th
September. We expect all participants to attend both sessions. The cast list will be published on Monday
September 17th. There are roles for actors, singers and dancers.
Rehearsals will take place on Mondays and Thursdays after school in the PAC from 3.45 until 5pm up to
half term. Later in the rehearsal period we will probably extend this time to 5.30pm and in the final stages
to 6pm. We will alert you well in advance about when these longer rehearsals take place. In the final
fortnight we propose the following timetable and would be grateful if the dates could be noted now:
Monday 28th Jan Run Act 1
Tuesday 29th Jan Run Act 2
Wednesday 30th Jan Cast not required
Thursday 31st Jan Run through
Friday 1st Feb Long rehearsal 1.45-6pm
Saturday 2nd Feb Cast not required
Sunday 3rd Feb First Dress rehearsal 1pm 6pm
Monday 4th Feb Second Dress rehearsal 1.45-3.30pm (We hope to invite Primary schools)
Tuesday 5th Feb First night
Wednesday 6th Feb Second night
Thursday 7th Feb Third night
If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact me at school.
With best wishes
