Borrowers Needed for Theatre by the Lake’s Christmas Production
Theatre by the Lake is proud to be presenting The Borrowers by Mary Norton and adapted for the stage by Theresa Heskins. This will be our Christmas 2022 Production. Download Application form below.
Below the floorboards of a large old house, we are plunged into the quirky, wonky, miniature world of young Arietty and her family of Borrowers. Making use of anything and everything they find ‘upstairs’, from cotton buds to postage stamps, the Borrowers are the original up-cyclers. But Arietty refuses to be boxed in by her family’s caution about the big world beyond the floorboards. When she decides to go exploring, she comes across the dreaded Human Beans and nothing will ever be the same again.
Fizzing with acrobatic feats, magical storytelling and toe tapping tunes, follow us into the Borrowers’ hidden world as the Main House at TBTL gets turned into a giant adventure playground for these small yet indomitable folk.
We’re looking for performers aged 11-14 to take part in our magical, acrobatically, toe tapping Christmas extravaganza, The Borrowers.
The roles are primarily movement and song based but will include lots of interaction with the central characters. Rehearsals will take place 22 & 23 October, 31 October – 20 November (after school and Saturday sessions) and 21 to 24 November. Performances will be 25 November to 14 January.
Auditions will be held 16 July, application form below.
To find out more contact claire.dunk@theatrebythelake.com or post: c/o Claire Dunk, Theatre by the Lake, Lakeside, Keswick, Cumbria, CA12 5DJ.
My favourite part of the day is at the end of a performance when the audience is buzzing and the atmosphere is electric. All our teams have worked together to give the audience that wonderful experience.
