Auditions for Little Theatre

Woy Woy Little Theatre will be holding auditions for "Mr Bailey's Minder" on June 26 and 28.

The audition for the play, by Debra Oswald, will be held at the Woy Woy Public School, corner of Park Rd and Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, from 7.30pm.

The theatre is looking for actors to play Therese, in her mid-20s, Margo, in her late 30s, Leo Bailey, in his late 60s, and both Gavin and Karl, both roughly 30 and both to be played by the same actor.

"Abusive, cantankerous and burned out by booze, Leo Bailey is one of Australia's national treasures," director Ms Brenda Logan said, describing the play.

"A gifted painter and chronic alcoholic, he can no longer take care of himself.

"His resentful daughter has been through a succession of minders, until Therese comes along, fresh out of jail and determined to make a go of her limited options."

Rehearsals for the successful applications will take place on Tuesday and Thursday nights starting on July 5, with productions running from October 19 to November 4.

An information night for the play will be held on Monday, June 18, from 7.30pm, at the Woy Woy Public School.
