Further to our announcement that we will be producing Macbeth at the Gaiety Theatre in April 2025, we are now looking for expressions of interest for anyone who would like to be involved in the production. This may be as an actor in the play or for those who would like to assist backstage.
Please send an email to info@parodostheatre.im setting out what you would like to do, any role in particular you have an interest in and whether you would be interested in an alternative role if thought suitable.
We are always striving to do something a little different and with Macbeth we shall be holding a number of closed performances for the Island’s secondary schools. Macbeth is a current exam text and we have interest from the schools for them to bring their students to watch a performance in support of their learning. These, by their nature, will need to take place during the day and so an integral part of this production will be performers needing to be available in the day time, likely Thursday 4 April and Friday 5 April. For those with 9-5 working practices this would likely entail 2 half day holidays being used.
We recognise the inconvenience this may cause, but also the exciting opportunity it presents. As such, whilst Parodos is a ‘not for profit’ amateur company, we are likely to offer an honorarium to take into account this commitment level. It is not anticipated that all cast would need to be available and certain ensemble roles can be limited to evening performances only.
For those looking to audition for a stage role, we will be holding a read through weekend over 4-5 January 2025.
Once you have registered your interest, we will then be in touch with any reading material where applicable and a time slot for your read through.
Over the coming days we shall introduce you to the various characters in the show and provide a description of them. The full list can be found at parodostheatre.im/macbeth
Finally, we are excited to announce that Macbeth will be directed by Tony Eccles. A well known actor on the Island, Tony directed Parodos’ award winning Easter Festival One Act entry in 2024 and recently directed High School Musical at the Gaiety Theatre. We look forward to working with him once again!
