Our House Posted on 12th June 202212th June 2022 by HTC Admin Wear your baggy trousers and join us for “Our House” auditions. We will be holding auditions on Saturday 16th July (morning start time to be confirmed) for principals and chorus at Hessle Town Hall, with Sunday 17th July (afternoon times to be confirmed) reserved for call-backs if necessary. Everyone is welcome to audition, whether they have performed with us before or not, so please feel free to spread the word! To familiarise you with the show, there is a sing-through evening on Thursday 16th June at 7.30pm in the Radcliffe Hall, Tranby School (Hull Collegiate) where you will be able to hear first-hand information from the director (Martin Beaumont) about the show and sing through the audition pieces with the musical director (Liam Fletcher). There is no need to complete an audition form for this evening – just turn up. For preview glimpses of the show try searching ‘Youtube’ for ‘Our House’ where there are clips you may find useful. Once the show is cast, rehearsals will take place between September 2022 and April 2023 on Monday / Wednesday / Friday / Sundays as needed. We are currently looking at rehearsal venues and will confirm details at a later date. Attached are documents which will hopefully provide some initial information you need in preparation for the auditions. Once you know the role(s) you would like to audition for, please complete an audition form and send it to me (email or post address is on the form) and I will send the relevant material to you (audition songs/dialogue as appropriate). Nearer to the audition weekend (about a week before) a timetable will be sent and posted on the HTC website to let you know when you will be needed.Good Luck and I look forward to hearing from you.

Three Catherines, two Annes and a Jane. Six women with one thing in common – marriage to a man called Henry – have passed into historical legend. Of course, it couldn’t happen these days…Six modern women have also married one man. Their lives are both separate and intertwined as they tell their stories from a room in which they have all once lived. Their experiences – miscarriage, love affairs, betrayal, and a shared loathing of all things ginger – are portrayed with humour, pathos and a great deal of wine.The plight of those sixteenth century women is personal, poignant and still relevant five hundred years on.Rebecca Russell and Jenny Wafer’s play was first performed in St Albans in 2004 and went on to enjoy sell-out runs in Edinburgh and Jermyn Street. The Regina Monologues is packed with opportunities for humour and pathos, and richly woven with ‘in jokes’ relating to the wives’ real historic counterparts.

It is a social and political satire set in a fictional future where a terrible 20-year drought has crippled the city’s water supplies. Water is so scarce that the government enforces a ban on all private toilets in an effort to control water consumption. Citizens who try to circumvent the peeing-fee by relieving themselves in the bushes, risk being taken away to “Urinetown”, a mysterious place where many have been sent but no one ever returns… “A declaration of the power of theatre!” (The New York Times, 2001) “The show’s glorious message is: Hey, it’s only theatre, but isn’t it wonderful? And did I mention it’s hilarious? Simply the most galvanizing theatre experience in town.” The New York Observer called the show “fresh, unique, impudent, colourful, irreverent, exciting and wonderful!”
