Note: Auditions for ‘Joyful and Triumphant’ will be around August 2022. AUDITIONS Auditions for roles in the award-winning New Zealand play Joyful and Triumphant by Robert Lord which will be directed by Ian Harrop, will be held at the Little Theatre, Honi St, Te Aroha around August 2022. In Joyful and Triumphant we follow the lives of a typical New Zealand family through a series of Christmas Day celebrations over a period of 40 years (1949 – 1989). Clearly the cast ages accordingly in that time as we follow their lives, loves and catastrophes. CAST REQUIRED (ages are at the time the play opens) Dad (52) Mum (50) Rose (their daughter) 28 Ted (their son) 27 Brenda (Ted’s partner) 26 Alice (their next-door neighbour) 52 Raewyn (daughter of Ted and Brenda she is not seen until Sc5) 27 For more information contact the director Ian Harrop (ianandliz@xtra.co.nz; 0212160443; 078849292) ALSO REQUIRED: A team of experienced theatre make-up artists. Each character needs to reflect the passage of time as the play progresses without being over the top! It is anticipated each will require personal assistance in achieving this effect.
