Men Wanted!

Sligo Drama Circle are talent searching – and the object of the exercise is to find young local men and women to fill parts in their forthcoming production of “Fiddler on the Roof” which will be staged in January. And the group are also interested to hear from electricians, carpenters and painters who would be willing to helpstage the mammoth production. Yesterday, a spokesman for the Drama Circle said people were afraid to get involved in such ventures because of a false sense of inadequacy. “People who say they love to go on stage but wouldn’t have the nerve or people who say they can’t sing usually possess an abundance of talent”, he pointed out. “And even if, in fact, people can’t act or sing there is so much other interesting work in putting on a show like ‘Fiddler on the Roof'”, he added. “Being involved in the show will give a great deal of pleasure over the next few months and we would urge people, especially young men, to give it a try”. Vocal rehearsals are held in the Grand Hotel, Sligo, on Mondays and Thursdays from 8.30 to 10pm and anybody interested in “getting in on the act” is invited along.
