Auditions in 50th year

Woy Woy Little Theatre will hold auditions for Arsenic and Old Lace by Joseph Kesselring at the Peninsula Theatre on Tuesday, February 28, and Thursday, March 1.

Director John Hickey is looking for a cast of 14 actors comprising 11 men and three women.

The play is based around two lovely old ladies who take in lonely elderly gentlemen boarders.

Sounds simple enough, however, the old dears then help the gents cross the boundary between the here and the hereafter with liberal doses of arsenic.

Woy Woy Little Theatre will also celebrate its 50th birthday this year.

The Theatre has been entertaining audiences on the Peninsula since 1962 at various venues.

Beginning at the old Umina Progress Hall, it eventually moved to the Woy Woy High School auditorium, then to the Woy Woy Primary School hall before it finally found a permanent home at the Peninsula Theatre around 10 years ago.
