Performance dates
The performances are on Friday, September 25 & Saturday , September 26.  Both performances will take place at the Pöstli Restaurant in Rifferswil (between Hausen-am-Albis and Mettmenstetten). Anyone auditioning must be available for both performance dates.

Performance details
The play has 8 core characters and up to 4 additional roles. The basic storyline is fixed and also top-secret, so as not to spoil it for those who want to attend.

There are ideas for characters, but rather than trying to find people who perfectly fit pre-written characters, the approach is the other way around: we’re looking at who is excited to be involved, who is available to commit to the project, and then shape the characters and script to make the most of the cast we have.

If you’re interested but unsure whether there is a role for you, please don’t let that put you off! We’d love to get to know your stage persona!

Commitment
We are looking for people who can commit to:

• attending one audition session

• approximately 5–6 evening rehearsals between September 1st and 25th

• performing on both performance evenings: from around 16:00-17:00 on Friday the 25th, and being free most of Saturday the 26th.

What happens next?
If you are interested, please fill in the sign-up form below.  Around a week before the auditions, everyone who signs up will receive:

• a detailed breakdown of the characters

• a sample of the script

• information about what to expect at the audition.

Role allocations will be confirmed no later than one week after the second audition date.

Whether you’re an experienced actor or trying something like this for the first time, we’d love to hear from you.

Please sign up using the link below.  We look forward to seeing who joins our murderous monastery this year!

Come from Away is a heart-warming musical based on the extraordinary true story of what transpired when 38 planes were ordered to land unexpectedly in Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001.

With the small town’s population of 9000 swelling by nearly 7000 stranded airline passengers, the residents of Gander opened their hearts and homes, welcoming “plane people” with warmth and kindness.

With a dynamic score and uplifting storytelling, Come From Away celebrates the spirit of togetherness in the face of adversity, truly proving that love can prevail even in the darkest times.
