Tuesday, June 6, from 7.30 p.m., at the Malthouse, Colombo Street Stories about animals, particularly, it seems, about small bears, capture the hearts and imagination of all children — no less those of adult children-at-heart. So this production will endear itself to actors who enjoy entertaining in this field of Children’s Theatre — such a rewarding one. There are some songs — not demanding but would be enjoyed by singers — ages given are an indication ,of requirement only — the most important thing is the FEEL for this piece. Cast: HENRY BROWN — father of a young family — pleasant nice person. MARY BROWN — mother of the young family — also a pleasant, nice person. JUDY — their daughter — a happy youngster — soprano range. JONATHAN — their son, also a happy youngster — both the children are energetic, everyday young people — we see them as anything between 10 and 13. MRS BIRD — their housekeeper — a stout, motherly woman with grey hair, twinkly eyes but a little forbidding! MR GRUBER — a friendly shopkeeper, genial, older age range, sympathetic role. MR CURRY — a somewhat crusty, peppery neighbour — baritone good character role. and nine roles which will be doubled by two or more actors, depending on auditions. BERT — a station porter. MISS BLOCK — a member of the Arts Society. MERVYN SCRAPE R.A. — the Arts Society judge. FLO — who looks after the laundrette. NURSE KAY POLICE CONSTABLE FLASH HARRY — a photographer. SIR ARCHIBALD — a surgeon — baritone. AND PADDINGTON — the leading character — small as possible, but it is more important that the actor can portray a character who is warm, friendly, lovable, energetic, enterprising! A baritone role. One of the loveliest roles in the business. REHEARSALS — there will be some singing rehearsals soon after auditions have been held — the main rehearsals will start the week of July 9. For an audition appointment and scripts please ring Mrs Grant, 370-650. Please do not hesitate to contact the Director at 39197 or 798-866 if you have any queries about suitability for roles.
