Faulty Tales TM is Boxboard's parody of the world's most infamous BBC television show. 'Faulties' has been entertaining packed audiences in the mountains, and elsewhere, for over 24 years- it is the 'Mousetrap of the Mountains'! Faulty Tales is a show most typically performed as Dinner Theatre, but the show has been performed in a range of formats and venues. The show is mainly scripted, however, there is a significant improvisational component. The actors would need to be flexible, inventive and wanting to have fun.
Character: POLLIE is a long-suffering waitress in the hotel. She is the only truly sensible and sane one in the staff and kepps the whole operation on the rails. Pollie understands where her bread is buttered and so assists Bazil to cover-up his increasingly manic mistakes and hide them from his wife Cibil. Pollie is intelligent, observant and often makes cutting quips in response to the insanities she witnesses. Her voice is smooth, well rounded and quite English without being posh.
AUDITION REQUIREMENTS:
Please familiarise yourself with the source TV show we parody. Boxboards writes and performs our own scripts. The focus of Boxboards is mimicry -your ability to recreate recognisable vocal and physical characteristics of the original character while providing our own ‘take’ on the character. If you apply for an audition, you will be sent a short script to perform on the day. There will also be an improvisation element to the audition which will, obviously, be revealed on the day!
Your audition will definitely be conducted in a supportive and good-humoured atmosphere.
Boxboards Theatre encourages and expects all performers display the qualities of professionalism, respect and most importantly- generosity.
AUDITION DATE: On Application. We can organise a mutually beneficial time for your audition.
AUDITION VENUE: The audition will be held at the Pailais Royale, Katoomba.
HOW TO EXPRESS INTEREST & SECURE AN AUDITION: Please email me, Matthew Barry (Artistic Director) at... mattbarry@boxboardstheatre.com with the words 'A Major Faulty Tales Audition' as the title of the email. In the email please supply the following information…
