Synopsis Duke Frederick has usurped the title and throne of his elder brother, Duke Senior, and forced him into exile. Duke Senior finds a new life with his loyal followers and friends in the Forest of Arden, leaving his daughter, Rosalind, behind at the court. Into this situation, enter Orlando and Oliver de Boys, two brothers divided by enmity. Orlando has long been mistreated by his brother and enters a wrestling match overseen by the new Duke to prove his strength. During this match he attracts the romance of Rosalind and the anger of Oliver and is forced into exile. As pity for the exiled Duke's daughter grows across the land, Rosalind is then forced into exile by her uncle, and her cousin Celia, Frederick's daughter and Rosalind's best friend, declares that she will accompany her to the Forest of Arden, but to do this, Rosalind decides she must travel dressed as a man. As you like it is one of Shakespeare's great love stories, cleverly testing relationships between family, lovers, best friends and those that serve. 6/02/2012 4:53:33 PM http://www.theatrelink.com.au/auditions/Red_Hot_and_Cole_-_COLE_PORTER_Musical Williamstown Musical Theatre Company Inc is proud to announce auditions for their May 2012 production of Red Hot & Cole, which will be performed at the Williamstown Mechanics Institute from Friday 4th May to Saturday 19th May 2012. Further information and character descriptions at WMTC's website http://www.wmtc.org.au Red Hot & Cole celebrates the life of one of the great songwriting masters of this century, Cole Porter. This production traces Cole's career from Indiana to the world stages of New York, London, Paris and Venice, through his marriage, his friendships with the greats of his age and the tragic riding accident that crippled him in mid-career, physically, but not artistically. Red Hot & Cole bubbles with songs that have become international standards, from such classic shows and movies as “Anything Goes,” “Kiss Me Kate,” “High Society” and “Can-Can” among others. The show features over 25 Cole Porter standards, including "Night And Day", "I Love Paris", "Anything Goes", "Let's Do It", "Miss Otis Regrets", "Just One Of Those Things", "In The Still Of The Night" and "My Heart Belongs To Daddy". A scintillating mixture of biography and song, Red Hot & Cole celebrates the great American songwriter who brought style, elegance and sophistication to the stages and soundstages of Broadway and Hollywood, delighting the world with his devilishly clever rhymes, fresh and unexpected melodies and sassy, sexy sensibility. It’s a champagne tribute to a glittering age gone by, and the man and talent who was Cole Porter. 6/02/2012 4:53:33 PM http://www.theatrelink.com.au/auditions/Macarthur_Playwriting_Festival_2011___Did_You_Hear_That_Noise We will be holding a script read thru and auditions for our latest production “Macarthur Playwriting Festival 2011: Did You Hear That Noise”, which is made up of six 10 minute plays Location: 35 Bocking Avenue, Campbelltown Script Read Thru: Monday 31st October 2011 at 8pm Auditions: Wednesday 2nd November 2011 at 8pm The subjects range from a comedy discussing the rules for Medieval Knights saving damsels in distress, to the recovery of an expensive ring from a garbage disposal.

Together, the couple have raised Georges’ son, the product of a one night fling, but when young Jean-Michel announces his engagement to the daughter of a bigoted, right wing politician and invites her family to meet his ‘normal’ parents, the bonds of family are put to the test as the feather boas fly ! Featuring the ‘notorious and dangerous Cagelles’ and packed with such musical classics as 'I Am What I Am', 'The Best of Times' and of course 'La Cage Aux Folles', LA CAGE is a touching tale of one family's struggle to stay together... stay fabulous... and above all else, stay true to themselves! An award winning musical, with book by Harvey Fierstein and lyrics & music by Jerry Herman, La Cage Aux Folles is based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret. Made into a film in 1978, it was popular enough to inspire two remakes: the stage musical and, nearly two decades later, the Hollywood comedy The Birdcage with Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, and Gene Hackman. 6/02/2012 4:53:33 PM http://www.theatrelink.com.au/auditions/The_Sound_of_Music Hornsby Musical Society is excited to announce an addition to our upcoming program - April 2012 will see the return of one of the world's favourite musicals - Rogers & Hammerstein's The Sound of Music.
