Hope you all enjoyed Ajax. Coming up next at Progress are the auditions for Teechers by John Godber. These are on Sunday 12th December 2.30 and Tuesday 14th December 7.30 at the theatre.
Director Christine Moran is taking time out from rehearsing her part as a princess in Ash Girl to hold the auditions. She said that she chose Teechers because she wanted do something light and funny but still good. After directing Going Postal last Christmas she also thought it would be a nice change to direct something that doesn't need a complex set and costumes.
She was supposed to direct John Godber's play Shakers when Progress performed it in 1999 but wasn't able to. Shakers is set in a cocktail bar and is written in a similar style to Teechers with a handful of actors portraying many different characters, a fun challenge for actors and director. This photo is from a newspaper cutting from 1999. As a marketing stunt we arranged for some of the actors in Shakers to have lessons in shaking cocktails at TGI Fridays. Shown in the photo are Sawsan Khuri, Jane Bertrand and Helen Wright (who wasn't actually in the play just making up numbers for the photos!)
