April 15 -17th 2027 – The Little Theatre, Birkenhead
RFOS would love to welcome new members for our next stage production ‘The Sorcerer’. If you are new to Gilbert and Sullivan, you might be surprised at how much fun it can be. A nonsense plot (they usually are!) of romantic mix ups, class tensions, dark magic spells and afternoon tea! Why not come along to our introductory taster sessions and see if it is for you? All singers welcome. You don’t need to be able to sing ‘opera’ or be able to read music- just to enjoy singing and performing!
Check out the dates below:
Thursday 17th September: Intro to songs with a focus on Chorus numbers
Thursday 24th September: Intro to songs with a focus on songs for Principals.
Thursday 1st October: Read through of the script for everyone
Thursday 8th October: Auditions for Principal Roles
Rehearsal venue: Prenton Methodist Church, Glenavon Rd. CH43 0RE
