Jack Absolute Audition Results

Message from David Greenwood

The auditions for Jack Absolute Flies Again, held at Shottermill Club on 11 February, were a testament to the depth of talent in our AmDram community. There was stiff competition for virtually all roles and the audition panel had several tough decisions to make. We are excited by the result and look forward to what this splendid cast will deliver. I can’t wait to get going !

For those who were unsuccessful, I appreciate that you will be disappointed. It is something we have all experienced and I know how much it can hurt. Please believe me when I say that the fact that you were not chosen in no way reflects on your performance. We could have cast several roles three times over. I hope, though, you will agree that the auditions have produced an excellent cast. It’s going to be brilliant !
