Actors wanted for two new one-act plays for Scarborough - audition details
Roll up, roll up – one new production company and two new plays – all they need is a cast.
This is a shout-out to performers who want to be involved in creating the shows produced by Saucy Seaside Productions.
The plays are Material Boy by Richard Milburn and Live and Let Fry by Sue Wilkinson which will be staged at the YMCA Theatre as part of Scarborough Fringe – on from June 13 to 22.
