SEYMOUR Performers Workshop is excited to announce its 2023 musical will be Legally Blonde the Musical, with performances running from November 11 to 19.
Based on the novel and movie of the same name, Legally Blonde the Musical follows the story of relentlessly perky Elle Woods, a fashion-savvy, University of California girl who finds her life turned upside down when she is dumped by her boyfriend, Warner.
To prove to Warner she is ‘serious’ enough and not just a sorority party girl, Elle follows him to Harvard Law School where she struggles to fit in.
The Seymour Performers Workshop is looking for a large cast of singers, actors and dancers aged 14 and older.
Seymour Performers Workshop president Brett Harvey said for those not so keen on treading the boards out front, there were plenty of opportunities for people to get involved with the backstage, technical and front of house production crews.
“We are delighted to be supporting three young creatives from the Mitchell Shire who are leading our production team,” he said.
“Seymour resident Olivia King is making her directorial debut, Wallan-based Kyle Broomfield is taking on the role of choreographer and Peter Lejins, also from Seymour, is stepping into the role of vocal director.
“All three of these talented young people have been involved onstage in previous Seymour Performers Workshop productions and we are looking forward to working with them to bring their vision for Legally Blonde to the stage in November this year.”
Auditions will be on June 15 and 18 at the Les Bell Pavilion, Kings Park Seymour.
For young people looking to hone their stage craft skills, unleash their creativity, make new friends and have fun, the Seymour Performers Workshop is hosting a school holiday workshop program called ‘DramaLab’.
The week-long program is designed for aspiring young adult actors aged 13 to 20.
Participants will explore the three dimensions of a character, culminating in a mini performance showcase for an audience.
DramaLab facilitator Beth ‘Betchay’ Mondragon Williams is a writer, director, producer and actress who has worked on projects across Australia and the Philippines for more than 30 years.
She has directed and produced for stage, television and film, and designed and facilitated performing arts workshops for people of all ages and abilities.
DramaLab will be from Monday, June 26 to Saturday, July 1 at Les Bell Pavilion, Kings Park.
