Title: Daffodil Presented By: Ipswich Little Theatre Genre: Psychological Drama Synopsis: According to John, Cecilia is unwell. She needs rest, she needs air, she needs to be less of – herself. Plagued with what is perceived to be hysterics and “temporary nervous depression”, they retreat to a summer house on the New England coast in hopes of allowing her to find the peace needed to get better (be a better wife, mother, citizen).

Title:  She Loves Me Presented By:  Phoenix Ensemble  Genre:  Musical Theatre   Synopsis:   The sweetest love story they never saw coming. Amalia Balash and Georg Nowack are constantly at odds by day, trading sharp words across the shop counter of Maraczek’s. Yet after hours, each pours their heart into anonymous letters to a cherished pen pal, never suspecting they’ve already met. As romance blossoms on paper and misunderstandings grow in person, the two must navigate pride, vulnerability, and the risk of truly being seen. From the beloved songwriting team of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, She Loves Me is a witty, warm, and elegant musical comedy based on the play Parfumerie. With soaring songs, heartfelt humour, and old-world charm, this intimate gem invites audiences to believe in the magic of connection, and the possibility that love may be closer than we think.   Audition Dates:  April 17th & 18th (Callbacks on April 19th if required) Audition Time:   Friday from 6PM Saturday from 10AM Sunday from 7PM (Invitation only if required)  Audition Location and Address:   Beenleigh Show Grounds, James St, Beenleigh QLD 4207 Audition Self-Tape Due: If you are unable to attend our auditions in person, video submissions will be accepted.

Acting - Please prepare and memorise one monologue from the document linked HERE . Use your own accent but be prepared to deliver one with a Modern RP/Standard Southern British accent as well. Be ‘familiar’ with the other monologues as you may be asked to cold read one of them. Dance - The dance component of your audition will also be presented in the individual auditions. Choreography video will be made available on the 3rd of April HERE . Audition Registration:   Please visit www.phoenixensemble.com.au and click the AUDITION tab at the top.
