IRISH GREEN GATHERING

Come join us in a workshop at the Irish Green Gathering.

http://www.irishgreengathering.com/

The functions of these workshops are:
1. To introduce the participants and allow them to form a bond. As with  
    Chaikin’s Open theatre, to evolve “ a common effort so intense that at 
    the end of [the project] I have been unable to say which part was my  
    work and which part belonged to someone else.”
2. To provide an enjoyable and documented experience, for all concerned.
3. To enhance performance abilities, by acting as a stimulus for new
ideas, and by offering a different perspective.
4. To create a unique performance piece.

Youghal Medieval Festival

August 26th RSVP performed at the festival. A specially comissioned thirty minute script and several improvised, historically based, performances. See the Album for an idea of the work. Well done to all involved. It was spectacular.

Tuesday 27 February 2007

Auditions are resuming for players to perform the month of April and beyond.

The phenomenal cast of The Haunted History Tour have gotten us off to a awe inspiring start. If you have been following the publicity, you will have seen the photos and read the reviews, which make it a clear winner, a must see for Cork said the Evening Echo. Audience turnout and feedback has been first class. Now we are looking for new blood. Yes it is with regret that we must say goodbye to some of our players next month, but we are loving the excitement of new members of the ensemble.

Email redsandstonevariedproductions@hotmail.com with your details, if you are interested in joining the company.

Delay with notification

Casting has been completed and the first rehearsal weekend was a great success. We are currently awaiting a reply from the final cast member who is out of the country for christmas. We will not be sending final notification to all those who auditioned until we have had a response from this cast member, as obviously a negative response would mean further casting is required.
