RPA Announces Casting Date. Leading south west performing arts company, Revolution Performing Arts, is seeking young people to audition. They want them to try out for its upcoming production of the National Theatre’s Connections play Tuesday by playwright Alison Carr. It’ll be taking place in Gloucestershire next year.
Artistic Director Laura Barnes said:
‘This exciting project is open to all secondary school-aged students, from age 11 to 18. It offers a unique opportunity to be part of a dynamic, inclusive and creative-led experience.
The casting workshop will be informal and welcoming. It’s designed to explore creativity, rather than serve as a high-pressure audition. RPA encourages young people interested in participating to attend and experience the fun of theatre-making in a supportive environment.’
Where
They’re holding the casting workshop at the Revolutionary Tuition Centre at Redhouse Village Centre in Swindon The postcode is: SN25 2FW. It’ll be on Tuesday the 22nd October.
In Tuesday, an ordinary day takes a strange turn when the sky over Lane End School tears open. The tear pulls students and teachers into a parallel universe while a whole new set of people falls from above.
As the two groups struggle to make sense of the situation, tensions rise. The play explores themes of:
- Identity
- Friendship
- Loss and responsibility
All against the backdrop of intriguing multiverse theories.Â
In the director’s chair
Laura Barnes, artistic director at RPA, is directing the production. Laura is also a professional theatre director. She has an impressive portfolio that includes acclaimed projects across Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, and London.
Laura said: ‘We’re so excited to bring Tuesday to life with the young people of our community. This play offers a unique and imaginative exploration of identity and connection. Themes that resonate with our mission. We can’t wait to see how these talented individuals will interpret and bring their own creativity to this extraordinary story.’
Rehearsals for the production will then take place on Tuesday evenings after the half-term break in late October. And the performance takes place on Sunday 16th February, at The Griffin Theatre, Rendcomb College, Cirencester.Â
