Dublin's first fully International theatre group is born

It was about time- a thatre group fully created, run and made up of people from the four corners of the world...and they all live in Dublin!

CurtainCall is Dublin’s first and only no-profit, voluntary International theatre group, managing to bring together Dublin's very diverse foreign contingent: people from France, Zimbabwe, Italy, Australia, Poland and of course Ireland all working together on stage to produce professional quality plays and musicals. Performing and interacting, these are the goals of the group.

So far CurtainCall (whose prospective cast members are from 10 different nationalities and whose Musical Director is from India) has received an overwhelming response from both the media and foreign people in Dublin. No experience is necessary to join nor is a perfect command of English (lines are provided!) and it's absolutely free.

This year (May 2004) the group will be staging their spin on one of the funniest musical/ black comedies ever made: ‘The Little Shop of Horrors’, made famous by the brilliant 1986 film version directed by Frank Oz, starring Steve Martin. Auditions will be on in Walton’s school of music (South Great George’s Street) on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 August from 7 pm to 9 pm as well as a back-up audition date on 6 September, just contact CurtainCall@katamail.com for audition details.
