Auditions for Trials and Tribulations

Auditions will be held during a full company rehearsal on Friday 12th June at West End United Church. Here are the music audition pieces so we can practice! If you can’t make it but still want to be considered, send a video audition to chair@wolvertongands.co.uk by 17:00 on Friday 12th at the latest.

There nearly 40 roles in Trials and Tribulations so it would take far too long to audition each one. Instead we will audition the main roles and take expressions of interest in the rest.
