SUMMARY:An Enemy of the People
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Adapted from Ibsen’s 1882 masterpiece by Melissa Reeves \nCreative Team: Erik Strauts \n\nDr. Katherine Stockman lives in a tight-knit rural community – she’s woven into the town’s fabric and is viewed as a local hero after advocating for the popular local baths. One day she makes a disturbing discovery: the spa water for which the town is famed is severely polluted. The baths attract visitors and are central to the community’s prosperity\, but this prosperity has been built on poison and the truth must be told. Katherine believes it is her duty to alert the public. However\, this decision quickly backfires. To her horror\, people refuse to believe that there is a problem and argue that the economic well-being of the community must come first. What does she do? Does she fight for the truth if it means the loss of income\, family\, community\, identity? Stockmann’s struggle unfolds as a powerful indictment of the hypocrisy that often surrounds public sentiment.\nThe play is set in Australia\, in a medium sized country town. The time is now. \n\nInformation Session: \n\nAudition Information: https://www.trybooking.com/DIBTE \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n10/01/2026\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n13:00 – 16:00\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:1\n\n\nRole Name:\nPetra (Daughter of Dr Katherine Stockman)\n\n\nGender:\nFemale\n\n\nStage Age:\n20\n\n\nRole Information:\nPetra (on 62%).

SUMMARY:A Comedy of Tenors
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Ken Ludwig \nCreative Team: Director: Kerrin White \n\nOne hotel suite\, four tenors\, two wives\, three girlfriends\, and a soccer stadium filled with screaming fans. What could possibly go wrong? It’s 1930s Paris and the stage is set for the concert of the century – as long as producer Henry Saunders can keep Italian superstar Tito Merelli and his hot-blooded wife Maria from causing runaway chaos.

Charismatic\, passionate\, and dramatic both on and off the stage\, Tito thrives on attention. While his charm makes him irresistible\, his impulsiveness often lands him in hot water.

DESCRIPTION:Comedy in Theatre: Commedia dell’Arte Workshop \nThe Audition process for Blackwood Players’ November 2026 production of Dario Fo’s Low Pay Don’t Pay kicks off with this workshop\, led by Commedia dell’Arte expert\, Dr Corrina Di Niro.\nDate: Saturday 14 February 2026\nTime: 12:00–3:00pm\nLocation: Blackwood Memorial Hall (21 Coromandel Parade\, Blackwood) \n About the Workshop \nThis practical and high-energy workshop introduces actors to Commedia dell’Arte\, a foundational comic form that continues to shape contemporary theatre and performance comedy. The workshop is designed specifically for performers interested in being involved in a Blackwood Players’ production scheduled for November 2026. \nLed by Corrina Di Niro\, the workshop draws directly on her current creative and teaching practice\, including material from her newly released book\, Commedia dell’Arte Reimagined: Contemporary Practice and Pedagogy for a New Generation (launching February 2026). \nThe workshop will feed directly into the development and casting of the November production\, Low Pay Don’t Pay by Dario Fo\, directed by Larry Waller\, an experienced theatre director known for ensemble-led\, physically driven productions and a strong focus on actor process and collaboration. \nParticipants will explore Commedia dell’Arte as a living\, contemporary form—one that is playful\, embodied\, and responsive to modern performers and audiences. \nParticipants will explore: \n\nPhysical comedy and expressive movement\nArchetypal characters and comic status\nRhythm\, timing\, and ensemble play\nImprovisation techniques that support bold\, playful character choices\n\nThe workshop functions as both a skills-based learning experience and an early development and exploration space for actors considering involvement in the upcoming production. It offers insight into the ensemble approach\, performance style\, and creative expectations that will inform rehearsals later in the year. \nAbout Corrina Di Niro\nCorrina Di Niro is a theatre-maker\, performer\, and facilitator with extensive experience in physical theatre\, comedy\, and ensemble-based practice. Her work combines classical Commedia dell’Arte techniques with contemporary performance-making and pedagogy. Corrina is known for creating inclusive\, energising workshop environments that balance technical discipline with playfulness\, supporting performers to take creative risks while strengthening ensemble awareness and comic precision. \nThe workshop leads into our formal auditions. \n Low Pay Don’t Pay: Auditions \nDate: Saturday 28 February \nTime: 1pm-3.30pm \nLocation: Blackwood Memorial Hall \n We invite anyone who’d like to explore Commedia dell’Arte and find out more about Low Pay Don’t Pay\, to come along to the Workshop\, then attend Auditions on 28 February.

SUMMARY:Breaking The Code
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Hugh Whitemore \nCreative Team: Director: Les Zetlein \n\nAlan Turing (1912-1954) was a brilliant logician\, mathematician and cryptanalyst who is mostly known for his wartime work in which he played a key role in breaking the German Enigma code (among others). However\, there is much more to this complex and conflicted man. Hugh Whitemore’s biographical play moves back and forwards in time\, covering his formative years\, his work at Cambridge University where he developed the idea of a computing machine that could do any task asked of it\, his time at the Government Code and Cipher School at Bletchley Park\, his personal life and loves\, and his fall from grace after the war when he fell foul of the law because of his naivety and inability to lie.\nTuring’s seminal work laid the foundation for today’s computers and artificial intelligence. Breaking the Code explores the human side of his life\, and how he broke the code—in more ways than one. \n\nAudition Information: https://www.trybooking.com/DITHV \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n21/02/2026\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n13:00 – 17:00\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:1\n\n\nRole Name:\nChristopher Morcom\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n17\n\n\nRole Information:\nSchool friend of\, and inspiration to\, Alan Turing.

SUMMARY:Low Pay Don't Pay
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Dario Fo \nCreative Team: Director: Larry Waller \n\nThis production reimagines Dario Fo’s Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay! as a fast\, funny\, political\, community-driven piece of popular theatre that speaks directly to a 2026 Australian audience experiencing the pressures of rising costs\, economic strain\, and social inequity. While the play is set in Italy\, our version is modern South Australia\, and although comic and chaotic\, it remains anchored in real human struggle. The humour emerges from truthful desperation\, not caricature. \nThis is a show about people trying to survive — and laughing in order not to cry.\nLow Pay Don’t Pay is a bold\, joyful\, and sharply political ensemble comedy that places actors\, audience\, and action in constant relationship. This immersive production celebrates the play’s greatest strengths: its relentless physicality\, rapid-fire farce\, and deeply human heart. Performed in the round\, the audience becomes part of the pressure cooker. There is nowhere to hide. \nOur vision is to create a piece of theatre that is fierce\, funny and alive. If you are committed to having fun\, working hard and holding a mirror up to present day Australia and exploring / improvising / workshopping theatre\, this is a production for you! \n\nInformation Session: 14/02/2026\nBlackwood Memorial Hall \n\nAudition Information: \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n28/02/2026\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n13:00 – 15:30\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:1\n\n\nRole Name:\nEnsemble (16 sought)\n\n\nGender:\nUndefined\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nWe are seeking 16 Ensemble members for this production.
