Month: August 2013

It has been great reading through your applications. We are beginning to see daylight again now and have just about made our way out from under the pile. It must be said: we are delighted by the response! There has been a huge variety of applicants to meet the decidedly varied roles on offer. Arriving from near and far we have had forms for auditions from as far afield as Sweden. It’s good to see that Strindberg still captures so much interest.

We are particularly impressed by the dedication of those of you who tried to deliver forms by hand. Apologies for not specifying that we can only receive solicited post at the Urquhart Road address, which might have proved difficult if we weren’t about to let you in.
   
The call for cast auditions is closed as of today, though we have still had a couple of last minute forms arriving. Many thanks to all who submitted applications. If you haven’t heard from us yet, don’t fret! Auditions might be just at the end of the week but we will respond to each applicant. (We are nice people.) And even if you haven’t managed to secure a slot this time, we hope you will still keep an eye out for future productions and opportunities with Station House Books.

We are looking forward to meeting the owners of such a varied and interesting bunch of casting forms.

Strindberg the Posterboy 

We have had a number of great poster designs from, Herefordshire-based visual artist, James Collins. We have been so busy reading your auditions recently that our wall has been a bit neglected recently. It could do with a some tarting-up, and we have been itching to share some of these posters

His website is well worth a visit:  http://james-collins.co.uk/

Auditions 22nd and 24th

Many thanks to those of you submitting applications to our casting call. With further publicity still going out as auditions requests keep coming in, we have had to extend our hours of auditioning; its looking like we may have to announce another date. So if you couldn’t make either of the original dates please keep an eye out for further announcements. Feel free to write with questions about applications or about any of the parts. We will be getting back to you shortly.

Inferno Feature in Evening Express

We have received a very kind feature article from the Evening Express this Monday. If you didn’t manage to pick up a copy here it is again – with a sneak glimpse into the auditorium as it nears completion behind a suitably smug picture of Mr Hendry. It’s a great write up and we can only hope to live up to its promise. Thanks Harriet!

As INFERNO auditions are rapidly approaching we look forward with anticipation to the month Ahead.

We are excited by the number and quality of applications we have been receiving in response to our casting call. Please keep them coming! With the closing date for applications on the 18th, I’m sure we can have many more.

Adverts for calls to audition have been appearing throughout the city, along with a number throughout cyberspace. (Thanks Sophie!) So keep your eyes peeled and pass on a flyer. We look forwards to meeting you all and what will surely be an action packed August.

Until then,

T.

A look inside at the Tivoli from Aberdeen’s Evening Express, last year. The renovation work is almost complete and we will be able to announce a number of exciting press pieces soon.
